Steps:
- Make the dough. In a large bowl or stand mixer, use a fork to whisk together 2 cups bread flour and 1 teaspoon salt. (I prefer kosher salt, but table salt is fine.)
- Add 2 tablespoons melted butter* and mix it in with the fork until the flour is crumbly. Make sure to break up any big chunks.
- Add 2/3 cup warm water. Mix it together with the fork until the dough pulls together. At this point, I start using the dough hook attachment on my stand mixer, but you can also turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Scrape down any dough that sticks to the side, but it should form itself into a ball pretty quickly.
- Rest the dough. When you are done kneading, shape it into a ball. Leave it in the bowl, cover with a tea towel, and let rest for 20-45 minutes. The longer you rest the dough, the softer and more pliable your roti will be, and the easier it will be to roll out. (It will not rise at all, so don't expect it to look different after the rest period. This ain't no yeast recipe.)
- Roll out the dough. Prepare a work surface with a light dusting of flour. Divide dough into six equal parts. Use your fingers to pinch each piece into a smooth ball. (see photos)Take one ball and pat it into a disk with your fingers. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a rough circle about 8-9 inches across. It should be rolled out very thin, see photos. (If you want to roll all the dough out at once before frying, stack the sheets, each one separated with a square of parchment paper so they don't stick together. I prefer to roll out my next piece of dough while I'm frying the first one, so I don't do this.)
- Cook the Roti. Set a cast iron skillet, griddle, or large frying pan over medium or medium high heat. Let it preheat for at least a couple minutes so that it's very hot.Add about a teaspoon of butter to the pan and swirl to coat the bottom.
- Transfer the very thin sheet of roti dough to the pan. Wait about 6 or 7 seconds, then use your fingers or a spatula to flip the roti over. You may need to add more butter; if there is not enough, the roti will not be soft. It will cook in 30 to 50 seconds. Adjust the heat as necessary so that the roti cooks quickly (under a minute) but does not burn. Every stove is different so you will have to play around. You will know it is done when light brown spots appear on the side that is cooking. The top should have a few bubbles. Flip the roti back to the original side (using more butter if necessary) just until the brown spots appear, another 20-30 seconds.
- Steam the Roti. This step is super important to get soft and pliable roti! Place a paper towel inside a large ziplock bag. When the roti is done frying, place roti on top of the paper towel in the bag. Top the roti with another paper towel (it should not be touching the plastic or it will get soggy.) Seal the bag. As you fry the remaining roti, add them to the ziplock directly on top of the first roti, with a paper towel on top. The roti will steam each other in the center. Keep the bag closed as much as possible. You can also skip these steps and steam roti in a tortilla warmer.
- Serve the roti hot, with curry and rice.
- Store leftover roti in a ziplock bag lined with paper towels.
- Freezing Roti: Layer your roti between sheets of parchment paper so they don't stick to each other, and seal in a ziplock bag. Store flat in the freezer.To reheat, you can either let thaw in the bag at room temperature, then reheat gently in the microwave (don't overdo it or they will get tough.) Or you can re-grill the roti straight from frozen, using the same method as the first time.

Steps:
- Mix together the flour, caster sugar and ½ tsp salt in a large bowl (see tip). Dissolve the yeast and a pinch of sugar in 1 tbsp warm water, then add it to the flour with the milk, sunflower oil, rice vinegar and 200ml water. Mix into a dough, adding a little extra water if needed.
- Tip the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 10-15 mins, or until smooth. Put in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth and leave to rise for 2 hrs, or until doubled in size.
- Tip the dough out onto a clean work surface and punch it down. Flatten the dough with your hands, then sprinkle over the baking powder and knead for 5 mins.
- Roll out the dough into a long sausage shape, about 3cm thick, then cut into pieces that are about 3cm wide - you should have 18. In the palm of your hand, roll each piece of dough into a ball and leave to rest for 2-3 mins.
- Use a rolling pin to roll out each ball, one by one, into an oval shape about 3-4mm thick. Rub the surface of the dough ovals with oil and brush a little oil over a chopstick. Place the oiled chopstick in the centre of each oval. Fold the dough over the chopstick, then slowly pull out the chopstick.
- Cut 18 squares of baking parchment and put a bun on each. Transfer to a baking tray, cover with a clean tea towel and leave to prove in a warm place for 1 hr 30 mins, or until doubled in size.
- Heat a large steamer over a medium-high heat. Steam the buns for 8 mins until puffed up (you'll need to do this in batches). Prise open each bun and fill with our barbecue pork and pickled carrot & mooli. Eat while they're still warm.

5/5 (1)Published Jan 26, 2022Category Recipe Roundup
- Homemade Naan. Though they look similar, there are a few key differences between naan and pita. Primarily, the use of yogurt and eggs in naan, making it a little fluffier and more tender.
- Bhatura Recipe. Bhatura is another type of fried bread, but it’s pretty different from naan. For one thing, this dough is less bread-like, meaning it shouldn’t spring back when you roll it out.
- Poori Recipe. Don’t worry; I haven’t gone mad! This isn’t the same recipe as the one above. Yes, they look alike, but again, there are a few things that set these two recipes apart.
- Aloo Paratha. Since ‘aloo’ means ‘potato’ in Hindi and ‘paratha’ is the word given to an ‘unleavened and stuffed flatbread,’ it’s easy to figure out what goes in this recipe.
- Khasta Paratha/Parotta. I like to describe this as a sort of savory faux-puff pastry. It’s a laminated dough that uses oil rather than butter, and it’s folded over quite a few times to achieve its signature flaky texture.
- Chapati. No matter how hard I try, I can never seem to get these to puff up quite like the picture in the instructions. Still, this recipe is so easy to make, and since there are no raising agents, it comes together in a matter of minutes.
- Ladi Pav. These are, more or less, Indian dinner rolls. There’s no spice in the mix, which means you can eat them with curry or your Sunday roast. These babies need around 15 minutes of kneading (by hand) and then about an hour to rest.
- Kulcha Recipe. Kulcha is a little like paratha, but it includes maida flour and curd (or yogurt). That bit of dairy makes this dough more tender. Plus, you’ll also use baking powder, making it thicker and fluffier once cooked.
- Mangalore Buns (Sweet Banana Buns) Given my love for both bread and bananas, you know I had to make this recipe immediately! When you see the ingredient list and instructions, you’ll see that these are very similar to poori, only they include mashed bananas.
- Pudina Paratha Recipe. If you tried the paratha recipe above and thought it needed something else, this mint version is for you! Along with adding mint leaves to the dough, you’ll sprinkle ground spices over the oil, which then get laminated into the final flaky bread.
