Gather @whole wheat flour{300%g}.

Mix the flour and @salt{0.5%tsp}, then work in the @water{180%ml} gradually to form a soft, smooth dough. Knead 5 minutes until it springs back when poked. ~{5%minutes}

Cover and rest the dough 20 minutes. ~{20%minutes}

Divide into 8 balls. Roll each on a floured surface into a thin, even round about 15 cm across.

Cook on a hot dry griddle about 30 seconds per side, until small bubbles appear and light spots form. ~{1%minutes}

Move the flatbread directly over an open flame, or back onto the very hot dry griddle, for a few seconds until it puffs into a full balloon, then flip once.

Stack in a cloth-lined container to keep soft while you cook the rest; a little butter or ghee brushed on at the table is optional but traditional.
