Sada Roti Recipe by Chef Shaun 🇹🇹 Foodie Nation

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier while margarine is often cheaper.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk reduces calories while water is a cost-saving option.

Sift 4 cups of all-purpose flour to remove lumps.

Add 1 tablespoon of baking powder to the flour.

Add 1 teaspoon of table salt and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to the mixture.

Gradually add room temperature water to the flour mixture, kneading until a soft, pliable dough forms.

Knead the dough for about 10 to 15 minutes until it is smooth and not sticking to the counter.

If the dough is too hydrated, dust with extra flour and continue kneading.

Once kneaded, place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth or cling wrap, and let it rest for 1 hour.

After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal balls, shaping them into smooth rounds.

Cover the balls and let them rest for an additional 20 to 30 minutes.

Turn on the burner to high and heat the tava until it is very hot.

Take one ball of dough, dust it with flour, and roll it out into a flat shape, aiming for 10 to 12 inches in diameter.

Once the tava is smoking hot, place the rolled-out dough onto it.

Cook until one side is brown, then flip it over.

To achieve a nice burnt look, hold the tava over the flame for a few seconds to char the bread.
