Method

1. In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, warm water, vegetable oil, and salt. Mix with a fork, then use your hands to bring the dough together into a ball.

   

2. Knead the dough on a clean surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Place it back in the bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 30 minutes.

   

3. Roll the rested dough into a 12-inch log and cut it into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece out as thin as possible into a circle about 7 inches in diameter.

   

4. Heat a lightly greased cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each chapati for 30 seconds, flip when bubbles and brown spots appear, and cook for another 30 seconds. Wrap the cooked flatbreads in a clean cloth to keep them warm and soft.
