So this is the Secret to Soft and Fluffy Chapati, I wish I knew this Easy recipe before!

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: maize flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free and adds a unique flavor.

Mix 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast in a bowl.

Add 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil and mix until incorporated.

Gradually add 1 and 1/4 cups of warm water while mixing until a smooth dough forms.

Knead the dough until smooth, then add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and cover to rest for 30 minutes.

After resting, mix the dough with the oil in the bowl and knead for another minute or two.

Cut the dough into about 8 equal pieces and roll them into balls.

Roll out each ball into a round circle on a floured surface.

Spread melted unsalted butter and flour on the rolled dough, then fold to create layers.

Let the folded dough rest for 10 minutes covered with a kitchen towel.

Roll out the rested dough again into circles.

Cook the chapatis in a pan over medium heat, using a mixture of melted butter and vegetable oil for cooking, for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
