1. 1

   Wash hands with soap and water.

2. 2

   Place the flour in a large mixing bowl. Add water, oil, and salt. Mix with fork and then with hands. Keep mixing until you can make a ball.

3. 3

   Knead the dough for about 10 minutes. Let rest for 30 minutes in the bowl, covered with a damp cloth.

4. 4

   Roll the ball into a 12-inch log and cut into 6 chunks.

5. 5

   Roll each chunk into a very thin pancake, about 7 inches in diameter. Don't worry about making the dough into a perfect circle-just try to get it as thin as you can.

6. 6

   Heat a cast iron skillet (lightly greased) on medium-high heat. Place one chapati in the skillet and cook for 30 seconds.

7. 7

   Use a spatula to lift bread. When chapati gets brown spots and bubbles, flip it over and cook for another 30 seconds.

8. 8

   Wrap the cooked chapati in a cloth napkin while cooking the rest.

9. 9

   Eat them right away with a little butter or margarine, or use as scoops for eating other dishes.
