Roti Canai
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. Every kitchen has a dish that's perfect for everyone. "Roti Canai" is probably one of them. This is a rustic Malaysian flatbread with relatives in India and Pakistan. I especially want to note that the flatbread bakes evenly and truly has a pleasant taste. From the specified amount of dough, I got 5-6 flatbreads like these. Serve cooled down or slightly warm.

On a dry skillet, toast the flatbread on both sides. The heat should not be too high, so that the flatbread has time to cook through and does not burn.

Place the finished flatbreads on a plate and serve. Ideally, these flatbreads are served with curry sauce. However, in our regions, they can be served with sour cream or ketchup.
