Wholewheat Chapati

2 cups wholewheat flour
2 tablespoons oil
approx 1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon salt
3 tablespoons Oregano (optional)
you can flavour the chapatti's any way you want: parsley, chili, garlic, coriander etc....

1. Mix the flour and oil together well using your hands or a mixer
2. Stir the salt and herbs/spices into the water and add a little at a time until you have a soft, kneadable ball.
3. Knead for about 8-10 minutes (if using a mixer about 30 seconds)
4. Place the dough into a bowl and cover, let rest for between 30 minutes and 2 hours
5. Portion the dough into 12 (6 if you would like larger ones)
6. Dust with extra flour and roll into thin circles. (or if wanting mini chapatti's for dips etc... use a small cutter or bottle top to cut out the size you want)
7. Heat an ungreased heavy skillet or non stick frying pan over a  medium heat.
8. Add the dough rounds and press down gently all over with a spoon to help make the chapatti's puff up. cook until lightly browned, flip and brown on the other side. repeat with all rounds.
