“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Chapatis #2

 

Ingredients

2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp salt
2/3 cup water



 

Preparation

Yield: 12 Chapatis Cooking Time: 2 Minutes Each

Put the flour and salt into a bowl. Add the water and mix to a stiff
dough; knead well until the dough feels firm and elastic. Then place
in a greased plastic bag or in grease proof paper and leave in a warm
place for 30 minutes. Turn onto a floured board, shape the dough
into a long roll, and divide into 12 equal slices. Roll out paper
thin. Heat the heavy frying pan and when very hot, cook the chapatis
for not more than one minute on either side. Cool in a tea towel.
Chapatis should always be cooked fresh for each meal.

NOTE:

To cook them, you can use an ungreased heavy frying pan, griddle,
bakestone or solid plate.

Left-over chapatis make an attractive crispbread when dried off in a
cool oven.
