Step-by-Step Preparation
- Measure 190 ml (about 3/4 cup) warm water for Oat Wheat Soft Roti; begin with three quarters, then add the remainder by the tablespoon so the dough or batter does not become slack.
- Blend the two flours with fennel and salt and add warm water. Mix with the heat off for 1–2 minutes, lifting from the bottom until the ingredients are uniform and no clumps remain.
- Knead gently, rest the dough, and roll small rounds. Knead for 7–8 minutes, keep the dough covered for 12–17 minutes, then roll on a lightly dusted surface to 2–3 mm.
- For Oat Wheat Soft Roti, preheat the griddle over medium heat for 4 minutes; a drop of water should skitter briefly and evaporate before the first bread goes on.
- Cook each round just until brown spots appear and keep it covered. Hold the griddle at medium heat and allow 2–3 minutes on the first face and 1–2 minutes after turning, until the surface looks dry, brown freckles appear, and the center springs back.
- For Oat Wheat Soft Roti, stack the cooked breads under a clean cloth for 8 minutes so steam softens their surfaces; serve them warm rather than holding them on the griddle.
