991 bit bit Recipes

you will need, all purpose flour (i used bread flour), semolina, salt, warm water to make dough or more (i used 1 1/4 cups), oil/melted butter, for frying & spreading, original recipe required 1 cup each oil and butter...i didn tsp use that much maybe, 1/3, mix flour ,semolina & salt., add 1 cup of water( warm to the touch), stir with wooden spoon until moistened., if the dough is a bit dry add about 1 tbsp water at a time until just moistened. mine felt that it needed about 4 tbsp more or about 1/4 cup. cover the dough and let it rest for about 30 minutes., it is at this time that you may want to clean up and get your work space ready. after the 30 minutes resting time, knead the dough for 5 minutes until smooth. i used my kitchenaid mixer to do this job., divide the dough into about 9-10 dinner size rolls ., cover with kitchen towel to prevent skin from forming. spread about 2 tbsp oil on your counter top. take a roll of dough and place on oiled surface., spread into thin square sheet. lightly brush with melted butter., then fold like a business letter ( three sides). you should have a long rectangle., lightly brush with melted butter again. fold left third to center and then fold right third to center of rectangle., you should have a layered square....maybe the size of your palm. it is at this point that you may want to let it rest a bit., roll this square into a big square of 9x9 inch square( or thereabouts...doesn tsp have to be exact it could be smaller). the layers might move about on you a bit ...just be gentle and try to make it look like a square. if you let it rest a bit you won tsp have this problem. fry on preheated griddle or in a skillet on medium/low heat. you may add some oil and butter ( about 1 tbsp) in the hot skillet. i usually squirt a bit of oil from my oil dispenser and add a bit of butter to help with the browning. place the layered paratha(bread) and let it cook until the top seems a bit dry.* flip over and add a bit more butter/oil. press on the bread a bit, with a spatula, so that the second side gets brown as well., while it is cooking , i roll out the second dough...using the same method(while keeping an eye out on the skillet. i guess you can make them all ahead and this way you don tsp have to worry about watching the skillet. it might actually be better that you do them all in advance..., this bread is best eaten hot ...maybe right out of the skillet ., variation, i did a few parathas , where i added some chives, in the folding process. in case you would like to try this version, here are a couple of pictures.
