Ingredients5

• all-purpose flour500 g
• warm water250 ml
• salt1 tsp
• ghee250 g
• vegetable oil1 tbsp

Method

1. Mix the flour, salt, oil, and warm water into a soft, smooth dough. Cover and rest for 20 minutes.
2. Divide the dough into 6 equal balls. On an oiled surface, stretch each ball into a very thin sheet.
3. Brush each sheet generously with melted ghee, fold the edges inward to form a layered square, and stack the pieces.
4. Roll the stacked dough into a large thin round, brushing with more ghee between folds so many flaky layers form.
5. Place on a greased baking tray, brush the top with ghee, and bake at 220°C until puffed and deep golden, about 25–30 minutes.
6. Serve warm, torn into pieces, plain or with honey, cheese, or molasses.
