Roti Wrap

Roti flatbread (also known as chapati) is a staple food in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. The dough is made from wheat flour without the soda, yeast, or any other additives. 

This recipe of roti is prepared from wheat flour which is a very common ingredient used in everyday Indian Kitchen. Since there is no rising time for the dough, this recipe can be made quickly compared to other types of flatbreads like Naan.

I was not aware of food trends that go viral and stay for a short time. Ever since the pandemic hit in 2020, I have been paying close attention to all the latest trends. Tortilla wrap hack is one of the 2020 pandemic trends. I thought of trying this trend in Indian style as I am so used to making Indian style flatbread than making tortilla from scratch.

It is easier to roll the dough is rested for 30 minutes
It does look tedious in the beginning, but with a little practice, it gets easier. Folding the dough into a triangle step can be skipped and can be just rolled into 8-inch circles. Folding the dough adds layers to the flatbread. It gives a softer texture on the inside and crispy on the outside.
