Chapati Breads

My daughter and I prepare this Indian flatbread frequently. It is so fun to make and goes well with any spiced dish. We use the extras to make sandwich wraps. —Joyce McCarthy, Sussex, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, optional
  • 3/4 cup hot water (140°)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the flours, salt and, if desired, garlic powder. Stir in water and oil. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 8-10 minutes. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
    Divide dough into 10 portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 6-in. circle. In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, cook breads over medium heat until lightly browned, 1 minute on each side. Keep warm.

Chapati Bread Recipe Tips

What's the best flour for chapati bread?

We recommend using all-purpose and whole wheat flour for this chapati recipe. If you have a little all-purpose flour left over, try making your own naan bread, too.

What can you serve chapati bread with?

You can try serving chapati bread with curry dishes like chickpea and potato curry or mango chicken curry. Or you could use it for sandwich wraps, too.

How do you keep chapati bread soft after cooking?

To keep chapati bread soft after cooking, place parchment paper between each chapati and store in an airtight plastic bag. Then, place the bag in the refrigerator.
