INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix flours, salt, and butter and add just enough water to make a firm
dough, somewhat like a biscuit dough.  Knead for 10-15 minutes - the more
the dough is kneaded, the lighter the bread will be.  Shape the dough into
a ball, cover with a sheet of plastic and let it rest for at least 1 hour.
If left to rest overnight in the refrigerator, the finished bread will be
even lighter.
When ready to bake, take a small piece of dough about the size of a golf
ball, or a bit smaller.  On a lightly floured board, roll the dough into a
thin circle, about 5 inches in diameter.  Repeat with all the dough.
Heat a griddle or heavy-bottomed iron skillet until it is very hot (you
will notice the smoke rising from it).  Place the rolled out chapati on the
griddle and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, depending on how thin you have
rolled it. Using a pair of kitchen tongs, you can lift the chapati to see
if the underside has turned a golden brown. Flip, and cook the other side
about 1 minute.
As they are cooked, store the chapatis on a towel in a warm covered
container until ready to serve.  Serve as soon as the last chapati is
baked.
NOTE: In India breads sometimes are baked in the fiery clay tandoor, where
they develop brown spots and bubbles.  To achieve a similar effect at home,
you can use tongs to hold each chapati over a hot gas flame until it puffs
like a little balloon.  The chapati will collapse as it cools.
