ROTI

ROTI INGREDIENTS (makes 4 pieces):

• 1 cup (135 grams) of all-purpose flour
• 1 pinch of salt
• ½ cup (107 grams) of warm water

DIRECTIONS:

1. Using your hands, stir together the ingredients. Add a few drops of olive oil to your hands and knead the dough with your hands until smooth and elastic.
2. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
3. Divide the dough into 4 pieces and round out each piece. Roll them out one at a time on a lightly floured table, as thin pizzas, using a dough roller.
4. Heat the pan on medium-high to high heat, and transfer one rolled out roti dough at a time onto the pan. Turn the roti when it looks baked on one side. The roti should puff up like pita bread on the pan. If it doesn’t, you can put the roti directly over the flame on your gas range for about 5 second on each side, which also gives the bread a more rustic flavor (be careful, as they will burn easily; I would use long kitchen tongs to turn them, to avoid burning your fingers)
