Chapatis (Roti)

      Yield: 10 servings

    1/2 c  Whole wheat flour
    2/3 c  Unbleached all purpose flour
    1/2 c  Water approximately
    1/4 ts Salt (optional)

  Make up the dough approximately 1/2-hour before you need it. Allow the
  dough to rest about 10 minutes. Pinch off portion of dough to form a
  ball about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.  Roll ball flat on lightly
  floured surface. Pat back and forth between hands until thin.
  (Patting makes the chapati puff when baked.)

  Cook on top of the stove on ungreased griddle until browned and
  puffed. Use medium heat so the griddle does not get too hot.
