Roti Bread from India Recipe
Roti bread from India creates unleavened griddle bread that's similar to pita bread while requiring traditional cooking methods for authentic preparation and genuine texture. This fundamental Indian bread demonstrates how simple ingredients can produce satisfying results that complement curry dishes and various meal applications perfectly. The unleavened nature makes this bread quick to prepare while the griddle cooking creates distinctive texture and flavor. This pita similarity makes roti accessible to those familiar with Middle Eastern breads while introducing authentic Indian bread-making techniques. The traditional preparation honors cultural heritage while producing versatile bread that's essential for authentic Indian dining experiences and proper sauce absorption.

Ingredients
2 cups durum wheat flour
¾ cup water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ teaspoon salt
Directions
Stir flour, water, oil, and salt together in a medium bowl until well combined and pulling away from the sides. Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead until smooth and pliable, about 10 minutes.
Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Form each piece into a round. Working with one round at a time while all others are covered with a damp cloth, flatten with the palm of your hand, then use a rolling pin to roll into 6- to 8-inch diameter circle.
Heat a dry skillet or tava over medium-high heat. Cook one roti at a time in the hot skillet until golden with some darker brown spots, about 1 minute per side, As it cooks, roll the next roti. Serve warm.
