Chapatis (Indian flatbread) are the perfect accompaniment to most Indian dishes. Learn how to make them with this step-by-step photo tutorial on making Chapatis. Don't be fooled by the number of steps there are in this tutorial because making a single Chapati from start to finish, takes 1 1/2 to 2 minutes at the most! Chapatis are not difficult to make but the old saying "Practice makes perfect" was probably written for them.
All you need is:
2 cups wholewheat flour
Water (Using yoghurt or milk will give you super soft Chapatis! See tip below)
Salt to taste
2 tbsps vegetable/ canola/ sunflower cooking oil
This recipe makes roughly 12 Chapatis.
Naan, or Indian Flatbread
Ingredients
1 cup flour, all-purpose
1 package yeast, active dry dry
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup water hot
1 cup buttermilk or yogurt
1 each egg room temp
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon honey or sugar
2 1/2 cups flour, all-purpose
1 x butter melted, optional
Directions
Combine 1 cup flour, yeast, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Stir in water, buttermilk, egg, oil and honey.
Beat until smooth with an electric mixer.
Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft, sticky dough.
Turn onto a floured surface, continue to work in flour until dough is stiff enough to knead.
Knead until smooth and elastic, but still soft (3 to 5 minutes).
Place in an oiled bowl; turning once to coat top of dough.
Cover; let rise until double in bulk (about 45 minutes).
Punch dough down. Shape into 16 equal balls. Let rest 5 minutes. Roll out each ball to a 1/4-inch thick round.
If desired, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with garnishes.
Set on baking sheets.
Bake at 450 degrees F. for 5 to 8 minutes. NOTE: There is no second rising in this recipe so that you get flat loaves.

in case you do no longer use yeast, you ought to use baking powder or soda. seem up recipes for soda bread, and there are some beer breads that don't use yeast. they often have cheese in them, the beer contributes some flavour, and you will upload garlic or different seasonings to any bread.
