2-ingredient Sweet Potato Flatbread (Roti) recipe | Oil-free + Yeast-free Recipe | Vegan Recipe

Hi friends, it's Teenuja from Veganlovlie. Today I'm going to share with you my recipe for these sweet potato flatbread. I presented them in one of my What I Ate Wednesday videos and some of you have requested the recipe. So today I'm going to show you how I make them. So you will see they are very easy and with just two ingredients, just flour and sweet potato. So let me show you how I did them. Begin by steaming or boiling the sweet potatoes. Baking is not a suitable method in this case as it will dry out the sweet potatoes and we need the moisture. Check with a fork to see if they are cooked and once they are very soft, take them out of the pan. I have steamed more than what is needed for this recipe here as I will be using the second sweet potato in another recipe. Allow them to cool for a couple of minutes but try to peel them while they are still quite hot. We need them to be hot or at least warm in this recipe. The heat will make the roti softer. Use a fork if it helps to peel the sweet potato while it is hot. Then mash the sweet potatoes. If you are using leftover sweet potatoes, reheat them until they are hot before using them in this recipe. Now measure out 1 cup of mashed sweet potato. By the way, you can also use white sweet potatoes in this recipe. In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Add the sweet potato. Start by mixing with a fork as the sweet potato will be too hot to handle at this stage. Once the mixture is okay to handle, continue the mixing with your hand and work the mixture until a dough is formed. Once the dough is formed, do not overwork as it may start to get sticky and then you will need to add more flour which will result in a hard roti. Flour the work surface and place the dough on it. Roll it into a thick log then cut the log into six equal portions. Keep a ball of flour close by, dust your hands with a little flour and take one piece of dough. Roll it in between your palms into a ball then lightly flatten it. Dip the ball into the ball of flour and cover it with flour on both sides. Now lightly flatten the edge of the ball with your thumb and first finger. This will help keep its round shape when we roll it out. Set the floured ball aside and do the same for the rest of the pieces. Place all the floured balls into the mixing bowl and set aside. Take one ball and place on the work surface or board. Begin to roll it out. Turn it on the other side and continue to roll out by applying even pressure so that the roti can rotate on itself to create a nice round shape. Flour the roti if you need to but not too much as this may result in a hard flatbread. Roll out until the roti is about 2 mm thick. Meanwhile, heat a tawa, skillet or crepe pan on medium heat. When the pan is hot, place the roti on it and allow it to cook for 20 – 30 seconds. Then flip the roti at 30 second intervals. When the roti starts to bubble, leave it to cook for a little longer than 30 seconds before flipping. When the roti bubbles, it means that the hot air is cooking it from the inside too. Cook the roti for 2 – 2.5 minutes in total. Store the flatbreads in a container or plate lined with a clean tea towel. This will keep the rotis soft and prevent them from getting soggy with the steam in the container. Now repeat for the rest of the rotis. Always keep the rotis covered with a tea towel to keep them soft. Occasionally flip the rotis in the container so that the last one is sandwiched in between the other flatbreads. This helps to soften them. As you can see, they were very easy to make and you can have them as a wrap or with any filling that you like, salad or sweet filling, your jam, peanut butter if you're not allergic or you have them with curry. I think they're just good on their own too. I mean, I really like to just have them plain sometimes. They're very nice, light and fluffy, very soft. So, I hope you've enjoyed this recipe.

I had these rotis with a nice stuffed cabbage curry and they were very tasty. I'm already there, I'm already everywhere. I've got a wife, two kids and a picket fence. Everything was hazy, now it's making sense. All right, I made it, so now what?
