It only seems right to add another fermented food to our list of recipes that we have been filling our recipe binder with over the last couple of years. 

We are using Bob’s Red Mill Unbleached All-Purpose Flour for this recipe since it comes out so light and fluffy and the taste is perfection.

It is important to me to use a flour that I am already used to working with and that I also know what the consistency is going to be for any number of items that I make.

Ingredients 

• ½ cup sourdough discard
• 2 tbsp oil
• ¼ cup warm water
• 2 tbsp butter, melted (reserve for filling)
• 1 ¼ cups Bob’s Red Mill Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour
• 1 tbsp curry powder
• ½ tsp salt

Instructions

In a large bowl, add the ap flour, salt, curry powder
Then add discard, oil and water and mix until combined
Lightly flour your work surface and turn the dough out on the work surface

Begin combining the dough by gently needing

Form into a ball

Divide into 8 equal parts

Form each piece into a round ball and flatten with the palm of your hand
Take each ball of dough and begin to roll it out with your rolling pin

Roll out the the Roti
Then, using a basting brush or paper towel add melted butter 

Roll the roti onto itself

Then roll as if to make it a snail shape

Stand the roti roll up

Roll out the roti again.

Heat a medium skillet on medium-high heat
Add one roti to the pan and begin cooking. You should see bubbles forming

Press the bubbles down lightly

Flip and repeat heating the second side

Once cooked put on a plate and cover with a towel
Repeat for the remaining 7 roti
Serve warm or allow to cool for later use. 

What If My Sourdough Is Too Sticky?

If the roti dough is too sticky, you can add a little oil to your hands. Try not to add too much flour as it will make the roti too tough.
