RECIPE WORLD MASTER

Oh boy, do I have a treat for you today! I stumbled upon some absolutely amazing North African Breads and Chapatis, and I just couldn't resist sharing the recipe with you all.

North African Breads

First up, we have these delicious North African Breads. If you love bread as much as I do, then you're in for a real treat with this recipe.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp dry yeast
• 1 1/4 cup water
• 1 Tbsp vegetable or olive oil

Tools:

• Mixing bowl
• Spatula or wooden spoon
• Rolling pin
• Baking sheet

How to make:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and yeast. Stir to combine.
2. Add the water and vegetable oil, and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, a tablespoon at a time.
3. Knead the dough for 10-15 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
4. Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free spot for 1-2 hours, until it has doubled in size.
5. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
6. Punch down the dough, and knead it again briefly. Divide it into 6 pieces.
7. Roll each piece into a thin, oval-shaped flatbread.
8. Transfer the flatbreads to a baking sheet, and bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown.
9. Let the breads cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips:

These North African Breads are best eaten warm, so if you're not planning on eating them right away, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil and reheat them in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes.

Chapatis

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup water
• 2 Tbsp vegetable or olive oil

Tools:

• Mixing bowl
• Spatula or wooden spoon
• Rolling pin
• Baking sheet

How to make:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Stir to combine.
2. Add the pumpkin puree, water, and vegetable oil, and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, a tablespoon at a time.

Tips:

If you want to give your Chapatis a little kick, try adding some extra spices like cumin, coriander, or turmeric to the dough when you're mixing it. Trust me, it'll take this already delicious recipe to the next level.
