12 breads

Preparation

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the ghee and mix well. Add the water and mix to form a firm dough. Knead for 10 minutes, form into a ball and wrap with plastic. Let rest 1 hour.
  2. Divide the dough into 12 balls of equal size. On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll the balls into thin circles about 6 inches in diameter. Let rest 10 minutes.
  3. Heat a dry griddle or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and cook the chapatis, 1 at a time, until browned and puffed, about 1 minute per side, pressing lightly around the edges with a spatula, which helps air bubbles form. Lower the heat if the bread begins to scorch. Serve warm with butter.
