Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme. Mix well to evenly distribute the herbs and salt through the flour.
Gradually add 3/4 cup of water and 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to the flour mixture. Stir with a spoon or your hand until the dough starts coming together.
Knead the dough in the bowl for about 5-7 minutes until you have a smooth, pliable dough. Add a little more water if the dough feels too dry, or dust with a bit more flour if too wet.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rest for about 10 minutes to allow the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out.
After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it with your hands. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Dust with flour to prevent sticking.
Heat a non-stick pan or tawa over medium-high heat. Once hot, place one rolled chapathi onto the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until you see bubbles forming on the surface.
Flip the chapathi and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking and browning.
Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining dough balls. Stack the cooked chapathis and cover them with a clean cloth to keep them soft and warm.
Serve the Mediterranean Diet Chapathi warm with hummus, grilled vegetables, or a salad to enjoy a fusion of Mediterranean and Indian flavors.
