Add the 4 cups wheat flour to stand mixer.

Add salt. Attach the dough hook.

Start at speed 2, run for 1 minute.

Add 1 tbsp oil. Keep mixing at speed 2.

Add water little by little.

Increase speed to 4 or 5. It will take nearly 5 minutes to mix completely.

Watch the my video to see how I check the dough consistency.

It will require 2 cups of water minus 1/4 cup (mostly). So add water little by little.

Some flours may need more water (2 cups + 1 tbsp). 

I am using Ashirvad 100% whole wheat flour.

After its mixed well, add few drops of oil to give it a polished look.

By doing this the dough won't dry up.

Switch off. 

Lower the bow. Remove dough hook.

Remove dough. 

Chapathi dough is ready to use.

Keep the dough tightly closed in an airtight container.

Refrigerate and use upto 3 days,
