[jjsuh]

Have you ever craved a cheesy flatbread but you want something with a Southeast Asian taste? I have a recipe for a Malaysian cheesy flatbread to satisfy those cravings, I'm sharing here an easy way to make Roti Canai in the comforts of your own home!

Here's a simplified Roti Canai recipe for 2 people:

Ingredients:​

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or any melting cheese of your choice)
• Butter or ghee for frying

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
   • Gradually add warm water to the flour mixture while stirring, until it forms a dough.
   • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
   • Divide the dough into 2 equal-sized balls. Cover with a damp cloth and let them rest for about 15-20 minutes.
2. Roll Out the Dough:
   • After resting, take one of the dough balls and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a thin circle or oval shape. Aim for about 1/8 inch thickness.
   • Brush the surface of the rolled-out dough with vegetable oil.
3. Add Cheese:
   • Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the oiled surface of the rolled-out dough.
4. Fold and Rest:
   • Fold the sides of the dough towards the center to encase the cheese, forming a square or rectangle shape.
   • Allow the dough to rest for about 5 minutes.
5. Roll Out Again:
   • After resting, gently roll out the folded dough again into a thin circle or oval shape. Take care not to let the cheese escape.
6. Cook the Roti Canai:
   • Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of butter or ghee to the pan.
   • Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough with cheese into the hot pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Serve:
   • Once both sides are cooked and crispy, remove the cheesy roti canai from the pan.
   • Cut it into smaller pieces if desired, and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or curry.

Enjoy your delicious cheesy roti canai! Feel free to adjust the amount of cheese according to your preference.
