4. Stir in the oil.
5. Leave the mixture to stand for 15-20 minutes or up to 12 hours.

7. Stir the batter and pour half into a frying pan smoothing it out to the edge to make a large wrap.
8. OR for smaller wraps, pour a quarter of the batter into the pan smoothing it into a circle 15cm/6” in diameter.

Traditional Chapiti Method - Can be Free From Too

INGREDIENTS

• 3 cups flour (wholemeal or white or a mixture of both. I prefer wholemeal)
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 200 milliliters water (250ml if you are using wholemeal flour)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Put the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl and mix well
2. Slowly add the water and mix
3. Knead the mixture to form a dough
4. Pour the olive oil on top and leave to rest for at least 30 minutes
5. Meanwhile sprinkle some extra flour on to a plate and start heating a large frying pan on a high heat
6. Once the dough is ready divide it in to 6 portions and then follow these instructions for each dough ball:
7. Take one portion, scooping up a little of the olive oil as you do, then roll it in to a ball between your palms
8. Holding the small ball of dough in the palm of one hand use your other hand to pinch the sides of the ball and fold them in to the centre, moving steadily round until you’ve completed a full circle
9. Put the dough ball on to the floured plate and press down with your palm so that some of the flour sticks to the dough. Turn over and repeat
10. Put the dough ball on to a large board and roll it out until it forms a circle that is approximately 18cm in diameter and 3mm thick
11. Then you’re supposed to toss the chapati from one palm to the other so that it stretches out a little. I found this quite tricky so cheated by stretching it out manually with my hands!
12. To put the chapati in the pan place it on one palm and then flip your hand over so that the chapati falls flat in to the pan
13. When bubbles start to form (after approx. 20 seconds) turn it over. Press it down with a spatula so that it cooks evenly. Repeat a couple of times (for max 1 minute) so that you’re sure it’s cooked thoroughly but not too much otherwise it will become too hard. Each side should be lightly charred so that there are a few brown spots visible.
14. Stack the cooked chapati on a plate covered with a tea towel so that they keep warm. They’re best eaten immediately. If they get cold they will become tough and chewy.
15. If you’re making the chapati in advance you can freeze them before cooking by placing them in a stack separated by pieces of greaseproof paper. When you come to cook them from frozen they will need a few more minutes than usual.

I found this lovely recipe on the internet so all credit too Bellabefree for sharing her passion.
