 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2 1/4   c            Durum flour
    1/2   ts           Sea salt
  1       tb           Canola oil
    2/3   c            -Very warm water

 Combine flours and salt in a large mixing bowl.

 Mix in oil and water to form a stiff dough, adding
 more water if necessary. Remove dough from bowl and
 knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about
 5 minutes.

 Return dough to bowl, cover with a towel and set aside
 in a warm place for one hour.

 Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and
 divide into 14 equal portions.  Roll each piece into a
 ball and cover with a damp towel.

 Heat an ungreased griddle or large frying pan over
 medium heat.  Working with one ball of dough at a
 time, flatten it, then roll into a 6" circle, using
 only enough flour to keep dough from sticking.  When
 griddle is hot, pick up dough, shake off excess flour
 and place it on a hot pan.  Cook until brown spots
 appear, about one minute.  Flip dough over and cook on
 other side.  (Chapati may puff up while cooking.)

 Cover and place in a warm oven while cooking remaining
 chapatis.
