flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk reduces calories while maintaining moisture.

yeast

🥗Healthier: sourdough starter

💰Cheaper: baking powder

Sourdough adds flavor and probiotics.

oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Olive oil offers healthier fats.

Mix the flour, salt, and yeast together.

Gradually add lukewarm water while mixing until a dough forms.

Once the dough comes together, knead it for 15 to 20 minutes until it becomes soft, smooth, and non-sticky.

Lightly oil the surface of the dough, cover it, and let it rest for 1 hour to rise.

After it’s risen, punch down the dough, divide into 500g portions, and let them rest for another 5 minutes.

Roll each dough ball into a 1 cm thick circle.

Make a hole in the center to prevent it from puffing up during baking.

Bake in a preheated tandoor (or very hot oven) for 7 to 8 minutes.
