Easy Chapatis (Flatbread) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
    1 teaspoon sea salt
    1 cup water
    cooking spray
Preparation
    In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a dough blade, process flour, salt and water until the mixture forms a ball.
    Turn dough onto a floured work surface and knead for 5 minutes.
    Transfer to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap.
    Let dough rest for 30 to 90 minutes.
    Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
    Divide dough into 8 equal pieces.
    Roll each piece into a 7-inch (18-cm) circle.
    Spray a cast-iron griddle or skillet once with cooking spray and set over medium-low heat.
    Cook a chapati for 1 minute.
    Turn over and cook 5 minutes on second side or until chapati bubbles up.
    Flip back to first side and cook for 5 minutes.
    Then place the cooked chapati over the open flame (or on the coils) of a separate burner for a few seconds to brown, as you would a tortilla.
    Keep cooked chapatis warm in the oven while you cook the remaining dough.
    If you prefer a crispy, cracker-like texture, increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    Bake cooked chapatis, on a pizza stone if possible, until crispy, about 10 minutes.
