CHAPATI (EAST AFRICAN BREAD)

Chapati (East African Bread) image

Adopted from Indian cuisine, chapatis have been a part of East African cuisine for centuries. The East African recipe is slightly different from its Indian counterpart. This bread accompanies African soups and stews well. Preparation is minimal, making this a great choice for cooks that are in a pinch.

2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup warm water, or as needed
