½ tsp salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
2 tsp vegetable oil or melted ghee
¾ cup warm water, plus more as needed
1–2 tsp melted butter or ghee, for brushing (optional)

Instructions

1
Whisk together the whole wheat flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the oil and rub it into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse, slightly damp sand.
2
Pour in the warm water a little at a time, mixing with your hand or a fork after each addition, until a shaggy dough forms. Knead in the bowl for 5–7 minutes until the dough is smooth, soft, and slightly tacky but not sticky — it should spring back slowly when pressed with a finger. If the dough feels stiff, add water 1 tsp at a time.
