Mix together the flour, salt, oil and water in a large bowl. The dough can be used right away, but is handled best when refrigerated or sitting for at least half an hour. You can also refrigerate the dough in a lidded container and use over the next 5 days.

When ready to make chapati, preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat until water droplets sizzle and skitter off the surface. Divide dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. On a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out each piece into a thin circle about 1/16-inch thick. Cook each piece in cast-iron skillet on each side for about a minute, then lay directly over the flame of a burner on medium-high heat, using a pair of metal tongs to hold in place (I skipped this step because I have an electric stove, leaving me with softer, more supple, but equally delicious flatbreads). Turn the dough with the tongs until the dough is puffy; remove from heat. Repeat with remaining dough.

Full disclosure: I was provided with a complimentary review copy of Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five Minutes a Day, but that's it. Just wanting to share the love!
