Instructions

How to make flatbread dough?

Add flour, garlic cloves, salt, baking powder, yogurt, and butter and mix.
2 cups All purpose flour, 3 Garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon Salt, 1 teaspoon Baking powder, ¼ cup Yogurt, 2 tablespoon Butter or oil or ghee
Now add water little by little and knead to form a smooth and medium soft dough.
Warm water as needed
Cover and rest the dough for 20 to 30 minutes.

Roll the dough

After the dough has rested, divide it into ten equal portions and shape them into lemon-sized balls.
On a well-floured working surface, using a rolling pin, flatten each ball of dough into a 6 - 8 inch diameter circle.

How to cook the skillet bread (roti)?

Heat a non-stick pan or cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat.
Cook each flatbread till you see some golden spots, approximately 1-2 minutes on each side. You may apply oil or butter when cooking if needed.
Oil for cooking bread
Transfer it to the plate and cover it with a kitchen towel to keep it warm and soft.
Repeat for remaining flatbreads.
Serve with any gravy or curry of your choice and enjoy.

Notes

Yogurt makes your bread soft. If you do not like it, skip it.
Always cook the bread on a medium-high flame, and when done, transfer it to the plate and cover it with a warm towel. This ensures that the bread remains soft for a longer time.
Add herbs like parsley, cilantro, mint, basil, dill or rosemary to enhance the flavor.
Fresh garlic can be substituted with garlic powder.
Instead of butter, garlic butter or garlic oil can also be used to make the bread dough.
You can make this bread only with regular flour or whole wheat flour or combine the two with a 1:1 ratio. The flavor and texture in all 3 cases will be different but good.
