  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • Additional oil for brushing the roti

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Rolling Pin

Method

  2. Add in the oil and mix until the flour resembles coarse crumbs.

Notes

Tips and Tricks

 
Make sure to use warm water when making the dough. This will help the dough to be soft and pliable.
Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will allow the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out.
When rolling out the roti, make sure to use enough flour to prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin or work surface.
To achieve a crispy texture, cook the roti over medium heat until both sides are golden brown.
