yeast

🥗Healthier: sourdough starter

💰Cheaper: baking powder

Sourdough adds flavor and is often easier to digest.

Add 4 cups of all-purpose flour to a mixing bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of salt to the flour and mix well.

Gradually add warm water to the dry ingredients, little by little.

Knead the dough using your knuckles until it reaches a smooth texture, adding more dry flour if it gets too sticky.

Once the dough is crack-free and the gluten is tightened, divide the dough into round balls of your preferred size.

Lightly flour the work surface and use a rolling pin to roll each ball evenly to the desired size.

Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a little cooking oil.

Place the rolled dough into the hot pan and cook until bubbles form on the surface.

Once the bottom side is a darker brown color, flip the roti over and cook the other side until it also turns a darker color.

Cut the roti into desired shapes and serve.
