Chapati with Nutella
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparation
- 1
In a bowl, mix the whole-grain wheat flour with salt, pour in two-thirds of the water, and work the dough with a spoon or your hand. Gradually add the remaining water by the spoonful, the resulting dough should be soft, supple, and hold together.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Once smooth, elastic, and no longer sticking to your hands, cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for at least 20 minutes so it softens and becomes easier to work with.
TIP:After kneading, let the dough rest for 15-30 minutes covered, so the flour can hydrate and the gluten can relax. The dough will then be more elastic and easier to work with.
Cooking
- 3
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each into a ball. Roll each ball on a lightly floured surface into a thin round about 16-18 cm in diameter. Work quickly, the dough must not dry out.

Heat a dry pan over medium-high heat. Cook the flatbreads one at a time: about 30-45 seconds on one side until bubbles appear and the bottom turns golden. Then flip, press the edges with a spatula for better puffing, and cook another 30-45 seconds.
TIP:Preheat the pan thoroughly first. Fry the flatbread until bubbles appear and the bottom side turns golden, then flip it and gently press the edges so the flatbread becomes fluffy.

Brush the hot chapati with a thin layer of ghee and cook on the pan for a moment longer. Stack the finished pieces under a towel so they stay soft and moist until ready to serve.
TIP:Brush the flatbreads with ghee immediately after baking to give them a buttery taste and keep them moist. Store them under a cloth or in a sealed container to prevent drying out and losing softness.
Serving
- 6
Spread the still-warm chapati with 1-2 tablespoons of Nutella. The warmth of the chapati will let the spread melt nicely and soak into the bread.

You can fold the spread chapati into a half-moon or roll it into a tube. Serve immediately, optionally brushing the top with another thin layer of ghee, and serve as soon as possible.
