Chapati, also known as roti, or Indian flatbread, is an unleavened flatbread that has been eaten (and is still eaten) across the Indian subcontinent for thousands of years.
If you are new to making roti, it is always best to start with white chapati flour. You will find it much easier to handle, less sticky, more malleable, and give a smoother finish when rolling.
Chapati doesn’t traditionally contain any yeast, but there are numerous health benefits that come from fermenting wheat in the traditional sourdough manner.
Instructions if Using a Mixer:1. Put the flour, salt, sourdough starter, and most of the water into the mixer.2. Blend until just combined, adding a little water at a time if needed until you have a smooth dough.
