Roti Wraps are soft, buttery flatbreads that serve as a perfect base for a variety of fillings. Made with simple ingredients like cake flour, butter, and warm water, these wraps are tender yet sturdy, ideal for rolling around savory or sweet ingredients.

The dough is kneaded until smooth and divided into portions, then rolled out and cooked on a hot pan until golden brown spots appear. A light brushing of melted butter enhances the richness, creating a flavorful, slightly crisp exterior while keeping the inside soft and pliable.

Whether served on their own, paired with curries, or used as a wrap for grilled meats and vegetables, Roti Wraps offer a versatile, homemade touch to any meal. Their warm, comforting texture makes them a delightful addition to any kitchen.

Method:

  1. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, mix flour, soft butter, oil, and salt.
  2. Add water: Gradually add 250 ml warm water while mixing with a fork or spoon (since it’s hot). Knead with hands until smooth and soft.
  3. Divide the dough: Shape into 6 balls and cover to prevent drying.
  4. Roll & cook: Heat a pan over medium heat. Roll out one dough ball into a thin circle and place in the pan. Once bubbles form, flip and brush with melted butter.
  5. Finish: Cook until light brown spots appear. Repeat with the remaining dough balls

Perfect for wrapping flavorful fillings or enjoying on its own! 😊
