Ingredients
| Extended life vegetable oil | 125ml |
| Plain white flour | 565g |
| Sea salt | 10g |
| Granulated sugar drum | 10g |
| Cumin seeds | 10g |
| Garlic (pre-packed, chilled) | 10g |
Method
- Mix the flour, sugar and salt together and then add about 300ml of cold water.
- Knead the dough until it’s soft and add a tablespoon of oil. Allow this to rest for at least 2 hours, or even overnight if you have time. The longer the better!
- Drizzle some oil on the work surface and then roll the dough into well-oiled balls about the size of an apple.
- Rest these for 20 minutes and then roll them out into thick flatbread pieces (with about an 11cm width).
- Rest them again for a further 15 minutes and then roll the dough as thin as possible. Fold the dough into a long pleated strip. Starting at the centre, form the strip into a spiral and roll out gently into a flatbread shape.
- Heat a frying pan and add some of the cumin seeds and garlic to this, before cooking each parotta through, until it is slightly charred.
