00:00:00.000 hello classic crew and welcome back to another episode of the festival of bites

00:00:05.440 where i am going to be making roti

00:00:12.960 so i actually tried this recipe last night and i think it came out pretty well i just need to roll

00:00:18.640 out the dough a little bit thinner but roti is an indian flatbread but it is a very simple recipe

00:00:24.160 and it's delicious and it is fried so as you all know if you've been watching the festival of bites

00:00:28.560 if you've been watching episodes one and two you'll know that we like to eat fried foods on

00:00:32.720 hanukkah so the festival of bites is a series that i'm doing for every single day of hanukkah

00:00:38.320 this is the third treat that i am making so if you missed the first two episodes make sure to

00:00:58.080 where you'll get access to a ton of exclusive content including my exclusive podcast exclusive

00:01:03.840 weekly articles and my book club so let's get into it so what you will need to make roti is

00:01:10.080 two cups of bread flour or all-purpose flour one teaspoon salt two tablespoons melted butter or

00:01:16.400 vegetable oil two-thirds cup of water and butter for frying as far as tools you will definitely need

00:01:23.280 a rolling pin and a frying pan so i'm going to go ahead and measure everything out i'm going to

00:01:30.400 knead it all together i have to take off my rings so that they don't get covered in dough and then we

00:01:35.280 can go ahead and fry them up this is going to be a pretty quick video because roti is pretty simple

00:01:39.920 to make so let's get started alrighty so we're going to start off by putting in four cups of the bread

00:01:45.520 flour because i'm doubling the recipe i need to put in twice as much of everything so i'm going to pop

00:01:51.680 open this bag here and i'm going to scoop in four cups

00:02:08.560 i'm going to keep the flour out because when i am fashioning these and rolling them out all that stuff

00:02:14.720 i'm going to need some flour to keep it from sticking to my hands next up i'm going to put in two

00:02:20.560 teaspoons of salt and four tablespoons of vegetable oil

00:02:29.440 and next up i'm going to put in one and a third cup of water

00:02:46.640 now i'm going to take off my wedding rings and we are going to knead this

00:02:50.400 now i am not an expert neater by any means generally i use a bread maker when i am making bread

00:03:00.880 but because obviously this is not going to be baked in the bread maker and there's no yeast

00:03:04.640 and this doesn't really even need to rest i'm just going to do it with my hands

00:03:09.840 now what it says in the recipe is that if this is getting too dry you can add like a very little

00:03:15.920 bit of water like half a tablespoon to get it to kind of mesh together i'm going to try and get this

00:03:23.440 to knead without adding any water because that just changes the texture of the dough which is not what

00:03:31.360 we want if this feels too dry though i will add a little bit of extra water and on every street corner

00:03:48.240 okay so that is the dough needed it looks great actually i didn't have to add any extra water which

00:03:53.280 is awesome and i'm just going to start separating this into equal portions small little balls that i can

00:04:00.640 break into pieces and that will be equal and then we'll start rolling them out so we can put them

00:04:04.800 in a pan okay so we've got these they're all like generally the same size if some are bigger than

00:04:20.400 others it really doesn't matter because they don't need to bake at the same rate so i'm going to grab

00:04:25.360 a cutting board just because it's easier to roll on that and we will roll these out so i'm just going

00:04:31.360 to sprinkle some flour onto my surface i'm going to start heating up the pan i'm going to put some of

00:04:38.800 the flour on my hands as well and i'm going to pat this out a bit and place it on here i'm also going

00:04:46.720 to take some flour and put it on my rolling pin and we are going to start rolling it out

00:05:00.480 and if the circles aren't perfect literally no one cares

00:05:05.440 at least i don't i'm somebody who is like oh it's gonna taste good no matter what plus it shows that

00:05:10.960 it was handmade when it's rolled out and it's not super even oh wow this is a beautiful consistency

00:05:19.920 really thin so i moved the camera and the first thing that we're going to do is we're going to add

00:05:24.720 some ghee to the pan just a small amount

00:05:28.480 and you can see the pan is hot so it's immediately coating the bottom of the pan here

00:05:42.960 and i'm going to take this roti very thinly rolled out we're going to put this in the pan

00:05:49.520 now it should only need a few seconds on the first side according to the recipe you can see

00:05:58.960 it's kind of bubbling or you should be able to see it and then i'm going to flip it

00:06:10.320 and now we just let it kind of crisp up and you'll know it's ready when it has brown spots like brown

00:06:18.480 fry spots on it but you can see there's bubbles which is a very good sign so i'm just going to

00:06:22.800 let that fry up and i'm just going to keep rolling out more dough

00:06:35.120 so

00:06:43.120 okay friends so you might be able to see that i'm still in the process of making the roti i've got

00:07:02.720 a bunch lined up and ready to go but i figure i will sit and try this because they smell too good

00:07:09.680 not to try so here is my little roti right here and let's go ahead and dig in

00:07:21.840 so good and so simple i highly recommend making these if you're in a rush but you want to impress

00:07:28.560 your guests this is a great option because it's a bread option but it it's so easy and fast and it

00:07:34.560 doesn't need yeast which always makes things faster so that is it for today's video thank you guys so
