Soft layered Chapati

In a clean bowl, add 3 cups of all purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of Sugar, 1 table spoon of salt and mix together with your hands

Add 4 tablespoons of the melted butter into the bowl and try to incorporate the butter into the flour mixture with your hands just to break up lumps as much as you can

Add the hot water bit by bit and mix with your hands (be mindful of this step as you don’t want to put in too much water). Stop adding water once the dough comes together, then add some melted butter again to the dough and knead continuously for about 15 minutes

Cover the kneaded dough with a clean kitchen cloth and put in a warm area for about 1 hour.

Now take your dough and divide into 9 equal balls (3 cups of flour should make 9 balls).

Roll out the dough on a clean table add oil to the surface and fold the dough into a spiral shape (i forgot to take pictures of this part). Do this for all nine balls.

Heat a flat pan on medium heat

Take each flat dough and place on the pan to fry, add oil on the side facing you, then flip over immediately and add oil on that second side too, now let it cook for about 45 seconds each and flip the sides again. Watch out for the color changes and if you feel the heat is too high, reduce it. You need to know how to play with the heat so that your chapati wont burn and so they can get cooked properly.

Note: i didnt include the measurement of the hot water because i actually didnt measure mine, i just decided to do it the traditional way by using my eyes to size it up... lol But if you follow what i said about not adding a lot of water at once, you should be fine.
