Sourdough....chapati

I keep doing flat bread.. I can make the sexy Italian an French types...but its the chapatti and pita that fit my life best... its versatile... I roll it out as thin as a match stick or thinner...but it raises on the burner..I stick it in the pizza oven and it goes mad because the heat is so even.. it gets this pretty pita pocket, swells up all at once an can't make it through the door.... I'm mentally stuck on open flame to make my bread... be it a gas burner or coals... BBQ or campfire... this is how the chapati starts.....rolled out matchstick rather than paper thin.... then it goes direct on the grate over a lit burner...
You can see how it starts puffing here and there...I move it around so it cooks evenly..the turn it over when its at a point I like it....

The idea is to keep it flexable...and a little char is ok with me...so I'm kind of lax about turning it...


Its just like I like it...

The grate is from my kettle grill......I use the thing everywhere...
