Chef's notes

Any breadmaker will be fine, so long as you follow your manufacturer's instructions. A tortilla press is not necessary, but useful. If you do not have one, roll out the dough between two sheets of Bake-O-Glide or similar.

Chapattis can be frozen, after which they should be thoroughly defrosted and gently reheated.

Chef's note

If you don't have a tortilla press, use 2 chopping boards or just two sheets of wood as a substitute. Place ball of dough between two non-stick surfaces such as small squares of Bake-O-Glide and stand on them!
