Indian Coconut Bread
Ingredients
75g self-raising flour
50g The Groovy Food Company Organic Virgin Coconut oil
Pinch of sea salt
Plain yoghurt
Extra flour for dusting
Method
Place the flour in a large mixing bowl with a good pinch of
sea salt then add enough yoghurt to form a medium soft dough. Knead for 5
minutes then wrap in cling film and rest in the fridge for 20 minutes. When
nice and chilled dust a work surface with flour and roll the dough out into one
large rectangle. With a spoon, spread the Groovy Food Company organic virgin
coconut oil over the dough then fold the dough back in on its self so that you
have four sealed ends and the coconut oil is all contained inside. Chill the
dough to set the coconut oil for about 5 minutes then carefully roll it out
again, this time just folding it back. By doing this you are mixing layers of
the coconut oil through the bread. Chill again and repeat once more. Once the
dough is nice and cold and firm divide the mixture into two and roll out one
piece into a circle about 15cm/5-inches in diameter. Heat a heavy frying pan
until hot adding a little coconut oil then add a paratha and cook for about 1
minute. Continue to cook as above for a total of 1-2 minutes, turning
frequently. Repeat with the second paratha. Serve hot.
