HOW TO MAKE ARABIC BREAD/ROTI

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories.

yeast

🥗Healthier: sourdough starter

💰Cheaper: baking soda

Sourdough adds flavor and probiotics.

Mix flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.

Dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.

Combine the yeast mixture with the flour mixture.

Add olive oil and milk, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each into a ball.

Roll each ball into a flat circle about 1/4 inch thick.

Place the circles on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.

Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until puffed and lightly browned.

Remove from the oven and cover with a clean towel to keep warm.
