This Cooked Dough Roti recipe is quite different with preparation, hence the title Cooked Dough Roti, which typically means the dough is cooked before it can be rolled out.

This method is fairly simple & in my opinion their super soft & are much healthier – you will notice it in the taste.

Roti (otherwise called handmade bread or chapati) is a level bread which originated in India. It is also common in South Africa.

This bread is often served with curries & many other dishes.

Pronunciation: Roh-tee, Cha-pa-tee
