For quite some time now I have been wanting to try the pasta cycle on my bread machine. Convinced my other half that we could try making Chapati dough on bread machine and glad that I did 
You might wonder why make Chapati dough using bread maker while you can use your hands to make the dough. True, you can make the traditional method to make your Chapati dough but if you need real soft Chapatis (even using the regular wheat flour) then this is definitely for you.
Ingredients: for 5 chapatis
1 cup wheat flour - we used Hodgson Mill’s white whole wheat flour
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon oil
1/3 cup milk
Preparation:
- Place all the ingredients in the bread pan and select the pasta cycle
- Depending on the consistency of the dough add in milk/flour - we always have a bit of trouble with our bread machine to handle 1 cup flour.
- As you could see in the picture, the dough is all “separated” out and needs help in making into a lump
- In general pasta cycle is about 20 minutes and at about 15 minutes through the cycle add in few drops of oil to the dough - this helps to maintain moisture in the dough.
- Once the pasta cycle is done, wrap the dough in a plastic wrap and set it until its ready to be rolled into Chapatis.
- When ready to be rolled, roll the dough as you would do to make Chapatis.
