Ingredients
- 100 g self-raising flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 50 ml water
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a bowl. Using your hands bring together into a rough dough. Then knead onto a lightly floured surface until the dough is smooth and cohesive. This should only take 4-5 minutes.
- Wrap a ball of dough in clingfilm and set aside for 20 minutes to rest.
- After 20 minutes, divide the dough in four. One by one, roll the dough pieces into thin circles (approx. 15cm).
- Preheat a large frying pan and lightly brush with oil. Place the first roti in the pan and cook on medium-high heat for 30 seconds to a 1 minute until blisters start forming on the top. Then flip it over and cook for further 30 seconds. Repeat with the rest of the rotis.
- If you want your rotis soft (to use for wraps), cook them for a short period of time. If they crisp up, spray them with a little water, and microwave for 10-20 seconds.
