🥗Healthier: self-rising flour

💰Cheaper: baking soda

Self-rising flour simplifies the leavening process.

In a large bowl, add 1 cup of warm milk and 1 egg at room temperature.

Add 1 packet of yeast (11 grams) and 4-5 tablespoons of sugar (approximately 1/4 cup).

Mix well and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Gradually add 4 cups of flour, sifting it to make it fluffy.

Combine the mixture and add water as needed to knead the dough.

Form the dough into a ball and grease the surface with oil to prevent drying.

Let the dough rise for 3-4 hours until it doubles or triples in size.

Once risen, knead the dough again and divide it into 6-7 equal balls.

Roll each ball into a medium-sized disc, thicker than regular roti.

Instead of baking, heat oil and deep-fry the discs until they puff up and are cooked through.
