Making delicious, chewy roti and flatbreads at home is easier than you might think, especially with a versatile multi cooker. This guide will walk you through the simple steps to achieve perfectly cooked, flavorful flatbreads that are soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside.
Ingredients You Will Need
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon oil (optional)
- Additional flour for rolling
Preparing the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add the warm water, mixing with your hand or a spoon until the dough begins to come together. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
Cooking the Flatbreads in Your Multi Cooker
Preheat your multi cooker by selecting the ‘Sauté’ or ‘Grill’ setting. Divide the rested dough into small balls, then roll each into a thin circle on a floured surface. Place the flatbread into the preheated multi cooker.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes. For a chewy texture, avoid overcooking. You can also brush the flatbreads with a little oil for extra flavor and softness.
Tips for Perfect Flatbreads
- Ensure the dough is well kneaded for elasticity.
- Keep the flatbreads thin for even cooking.
- Use a little oil or ghee for added flavor and chewiness.
- Adjust cooking time based on your specific multi cooker model.
Enjoy your homemade, chewy roti and flatbreads as a side dish, wrap, or snack. With practice, you’ll perfect your technique and create delicious breads every time!
