Do you make chapatis by hand? One, I don't knead for 5 minutes, or it gets too
chewy. Two, if you do make them by hand, use the kneading machine to get the
same texture you get after you knead it by hand. Since my chapati flour is soft
WW with the bran out, gluten development is not the goal of chapati dough.
