Delicious Mexican Roti Recipe - Easy and Quick

Ingredients

Servings:
16
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 cup water (warm)
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp butter (melted, for brushing)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (optional for flavor)
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped, optional for garnish)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar.

    Ensure the ingredients are well mixed to avoid clumping.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients

    Add vegetable oil and warm water to the dry mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

    Adjust water quantity as needed for dough consistency.
  3. Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes.

    Kneading develops gluten for a softer texture.
  4. Rest the Dough

    Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

    This allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out.
  5. Roll and Cook

    Divide the dough into equal portions, roll each into a circle, and cook on a hot skillet for about 1-2 minutes on each side.

    Press lightly with a spatula for even cooking.
  6. Brush with Butter

    Optionally brush the hot roti with melted butter for added flavor.

    Serve warm for the best taste.
