Start with your flatbread dough and ensure enough flour is on the surface to prevent sticking.

Roll the dough out as thin as possible.

Brush the rolled dough with melted butter or margarine to create layers.

Sprinkle the brushed dough with flour.

Fold the dough into thirds to create multiple layers.

Add a little more oil and flour before folding again.

Shape the folded dough into a ball.

Cut the ball into quarters.

Roll each quarter out thinner, pinching the corners to maintain the layers.

Brush the top of each rolled piece with oil before cooking.

Heat a pan over low heat with a little oil.

Place the rolled roti face down in the pan and brush the top side with oil.

Cook until bubbles form, then flip the roti over.

Flip the roti a couple of times to ensure even cooking and to see the layers forming.

Once cooked, place the roti in a bowl and shake to separate the layers.
