The wheat flour dough is used to make many Indian flatbreads, like chapatiroti and many kinds of paranthas. Half the battle of making good flatbreads is won if the dough is kneaded well! Now say YES to making fresh rotis and paranthas! Adding oil and salt to the dough is entirely optional.\rbrNote:1. Just like any other frozen food, thawed dough should not be re-freezed. While storing the dough in the freezer, either freeze one-time use portions as per your requirement OR store the thawed dough in the refrigerator for future use. \rbr2. When using the defrost setting of the microwave, note that every food gets defrosted from the outside to inside. ( Opposite of what happens in heating any food). So, defrost in increments of say, 20 seconds. Keep removing the portion of the dough that has defrosted. Then defrost the remaining frozen dough for another 20 seconds and so on. If the defrosted dough seems extra soft than required ( this will happen only if you are not careful while defrosting), then add some dry flour and knead lightly right there in a bowl before rolling it out. If you defreeze the dough in increments, you will generally not need to add any extra dry flour. \rbr\rbr3. While storing a larger quantity of dough in the refrigerator, say, for one day use or more than that, preferrably wrap it in cling film and then put it in an air-tight container. Take the container size proportionate to the size of the cling film wrapped dough. This leaves minimum air-space in the container. Oxidation,because of exposure to air is what causes the dough to dis-color.\rbr4. While storing dough in the freezer, suck out air from the freezer bag using a straw. Lesser the exposure to air, lesser the oxidation.
