Sweet chapati with Nutella turns plain Indian flatbreads into a quick snack you can put together even on an ordinary morning. The thin whole-grain flatbreads are cooked dry in a hot pan, then brushed with a little ghee the moment they come off the heat. While still warm, spread them with Nutella, which melts into the soft dough beautifully. Sweet chapati taste best fresh, as a filling breakfast or a simple family dessert.

Step by step process

Preparation

1
To make chapati dough, mix the whole-grain wheat flour with salt in a bowl, pour in two-thirds of the water, and work it with a spoon or your hand. Gradually add the remaining water by the spoonful until the dough is soft, supple, and holds together.
2
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.

Cooking

3
Divide the rested dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each into a ball. Roll every ball on a lightly floured surface into a thin round about 16-18 cm in diameter. Work quickly, the dough must not dry out.
4
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.
5
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.

Serving

6
Spread the still-warm chapati with 1-2 tablespoons of Nutella. The warmth of the flatbread will let the Nutella melt beautifully and soak into the soft dough.
7
Fold the spread flatbreads into a half-moon or roll into a tube. Serve immediately, optionally brushing the top with another thin layer of ghee. They are best enjoyed fresh, while the dough stays soft and pairs beautifully with the sweet filling.
