Step 1

Add the salt to the water and stir until dissolved. The water should be about as salty as the ocean, add more salt if necessary.

Step 2

Mix both flours in a large bowl.

Step 3

Slowly add salty water to the flour, mixing all the while by hand until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Add more water or flour if needed to get it just right.

Step 4

Oil the top of the dough and let rest for about five to ten minutes

Step 5

Divide the dough into 7 or 8 balls and roll in flour.

Step 6

One at a time, roll the balls out flat using more flour to keep things from sticking. Spread on a thin layer of olive oil with your hand or an applicator.

Step 7

Roll the flat dough up with the oil on the inside

Step 8

Then roll it into a sort of cinnamon roll shape squashing the end into the center.

Step 9

Flip it upside down and let them rest for another five minutes

Step 10

Heat the pan (preferably cast iron) over medium heat

Step 11

Flour each of the twisted balls before rolling them out flat one at a time and fry them.

Step 12

Spread more oil on both sides as the chapati is flipped

Step 13

Cook until browned and crispy
