I know I am easily pleased I did find making these such fun. I wanted to see if I could get the pocket effect on a roti using fibre flour. I watched a you tube video or 2, this one was very useful https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-xuD1kXjTTc
Well they turned out just like the real thing so do have a go. I made a video of the roti puffing up but can’t work out how to upload it, the pic is showing how the roti have a pocket but it was taken with all I had left as we had eaten the rest.
To make 10 roti
2 cups of ultra fine fibre four
1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon olive oil
Meted Ghee for brushing on cooked Roti
Pinch of salt
I definitely recommend watching a you tube video on how to make these but in summary:
1 Mix al the ingredients together.
2 Knead for 5 to 10 minutes (I used my Kenwood with dough hook
3Cover and rest for 10 minutes
4 Divide into 10 balls of dough
5 Roll out into circles
6 Fry in a dry non stick pan until starting to bubble
7 Throw on flame of gas ring as per video
Magic happens !!!
Hi Vicky, nice one yet again.
In fact I make a lot of flatbreads (call them whatever: chapati, tortilla, wraps) and I've found stopping the pocket forming a challenge. So letting the pocket form to make pita bread is the easiest thing to do. I use the basic dough recipe (with life giving yeast fermentation) 60-70 g per dough ball, roll out a little thicker than for a wrap or tortilla. You can cook on a dry skillet or in a hot oven, the pocket forms immediately on flipping after 60 secs or so on a dry hot plate/frying pan/skillet.
