Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 2/3 cup warm water
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil (or cooking oil of choice)
• 1 dash salt

Directions

1. Wash hands with soap and water.
2. Place the flour in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add water, oil, and salt.
4. Mix with fork and then with hands.
5. Keep mixing until you can make a ball.
6. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes.
7. Let rest for 30 minutes in the bowl, covered with a damp cloth.
8. Roll the ball into a 12-inch log and cut into 6 chunks.
9. Roll each chunk into a very thin pancake, about 7 inches in diameter.
10. Don't worry about making the dough into a perfect circle-just try to get it as thin as you can.
11. Heat a cast iron skillet (lightly greased) on medium-high heat.
12. Place one chapati in the skillet and cook for 30 seconds.
13. Use a spatula to lift bread.
14. When chapati gets brown spots and bubbles, flip it over and cook for another 30 seconds.
15. Wrap the cooked chapati in a cloth napkin while cooking the rest.
16. Eat them right away with a little butter or margarine, or use as scoops for eating other dishes.
