Thailand Roti
Originating in the Indian subcontinent, roti is a flatbread that is eaten primarily as a snack, topped with sweetened condensed milk, sugar, banana, and/or chocolate. Roti is distinctive in that it is an unleavened bread, unlike other popular Indian flatbreads like naan. It is commonly available fresh from Thai street vendors. Recipe Servings: Makes 12 roti

Ingredients
- 2 cups (240 g) durum wheat flour 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) salt 3/4 cup (180 ml) water 1 Tbsp (15 ml) vegetable oil
Directions
- Combine flour, salt, water, and oil in a medium mixing bowl. Mix until dough pulls away from sides of bowl.
- On a well-floured surface, turn dough out and knead until smooth and elastic, approximately 10 minutes.
- Divide dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each into a ball. Cover with a damp cloth for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Flatten balls with the palm of your hand, then roll out each piece with a rolling pin until 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) in diameter.
- Preheat a dry skillet (no oil) over medium-high heat.
- Cook dough circles in the skillet for one minute, then flip. Repeat the flipping/cooking process once or twice more until cooked through. When cooked, roti will have some dark brown spots.
- Serve warm.
