Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare the dough

   In a wooden bowl, add 1 cup (125 grams) of wheat flour. Gradually add water as needed and mix by hand to form a dough. Continue adding water and kneading until the dough comes together.

2. 2.Add olive oil and knead

   Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the dough and continue kneading until the dough is smooth, pliable, and non-sticky.

3. 3.Divide the dough

   Place the kneaded dough on a silicone mat. Roll the dough into a log shape and then cut it into 6 equal pieces using a dough cutter.

4. 4.Shape and flour the dough balls

   Take one piece of dough, roll it into a smooth ball, and then lightly dust it with wheat flour.

5. 5.Roll out the rotis

   Place the floured dough ball on the mat and use a rolling pin to roll it into a thin, even circle. Apply pressure on the edges to ensure it's evenly flat.

6. 6.Heat the tawa

   Turn on the gas stove and place a tawa (pan) on it. Ensure the tawa is hot before placing the roti.

7. 7.Cook the roti (first side)

   Place the rolled roti onto the hot tawa. Cook until small bubbles start to appear on the surface.

8. 8.Cook the roti (second side)

   Flip the roti to cook the other side. Use a clean cloth to apply soft pressure on the edges of the roti. This will help it puff up.

9. 9.Remove and serve

   Once the roti is fully puffed and cooked with light brown spots on both sides, remove it from the tawa. Repeat for the remaining dough balls.

10. 10.Apply butter (optional)

    Optionally, apply a small amount of butter to the hot rotis before serving.
