Multigrain Roll
Start your day with a wholesome Multigrain Roll, a fiber-rich and satisfying flatbread perfect for a quick and nutritious breakfast.
For 4 servings
In a large bowl, combine the multigrain flour and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead to form a smooth, firm dough. Add 1/2 tsp of the cooking oil to the dough and knead for another 2-3 minutes until it's pliable. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball. Lightly dust your rolling surface and rolling pin with a little dry flour.
Roll out each dough ball into a thin, circular roll (about 6-7 inches in diameter). Ensure it's not too thick for even cooking.
Heat a non-stick tawa or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place one rolled multigrain roll on it. Cook for about 30 seconds until small bubbles appear.
Flip the roll and cook the other side for another 30-45 seconds. Apply a tiny amount of the remaining cooking oil (about 1/8 tsp per roll) evenly on both sides while cooking, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even browning and puffing. Cook until golden spots appear on both sides.
Remove the cooked roll from the tawa and repeat the process for the remaining dough portions. Serve hot.
