Serves four to six people
Chapati (Ugandan Bread) –
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup warm water
Salt
1/2 cup cooking oil
In a large bowl add the flour, mix in oil, salt and oil. Mix with your hands. Add more water and/or flour as necessary. The dough should be soft and moist. It will be ready to roll out when it stops sticking to your fingers.
On a flat surface or cutting board, roll out a handful of dough on. The recipe should make about six chapati. Keep rolling and turning over until it is 1/4' (as thin as you can get it)
Heat a skillet and place the chapati in skillet (it is not necessary to add more oil). Roast a few minutes until it is browned. Flip the chapati, and butter it like you would toast. Flip again and butter the second side.
