Roti

I have such fond memories of making roti with my family, gathering around the kitchen as the warm, soft flatbreads sizzled on the pan.
There's something so nourishing about creating food from scratch, and this recipe is a staple in my home.
Plus, it's super easy to whip up and pairs beautifully with just about anything—my favorite is with a spicy lentil curry!

Ingredients & Substitutions
Using whole wheat flour gives these rotis a nice nutty flavor and good texture. You can also try using spelt flour for a different taste. If you're gluten-free, a gluten-free flour blend should work, but the feel might be a bit different, so experiment a little!
Tips & Notes
- •I love to keep my dough covered while it rests to prevent it from drying out.
- •If you want softer rotis, you can brush them with a little vegan butter right after cooking!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I like to add spices like cumin or turmeric to the dough for extra flavor.
- •If I'm feeling adventurous, I'll stuff the roti with some spiced potatoes or greens before rolling it out.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftover rotis in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two. You can also freeze them by separating layers with parchment paper and putting them in a freezer bag. Just pop them in the fridge to thaw when you're ready to enjoy!
