Tips to make soft roti from dough kept in the fridge
Knead it again with lukewarm water
If the dough was kept in the fridge, then knead it again before making roti from it. Use lukewarm water for this. Keeping it in the fridge forms a hard layer on the upper surface of the dough. To remove this layer, the dough has to be kneaded again. Apply water and knead it from the top. Make roti after the cold of the fridge has gone from the dough. It will be like fresh dough.
Do not bake roti on a high flame.
While making roti from fresh flour and dough kept in the fridge, keep one thing in mind if you are making roti by taking out dough from the fridge and do not have time to knead it again, then do not bake the roti on very high flame. By doing this, the roti becomes like a hard papad.
Do not make roti immediately after taking out the dough from the fridge
Do not make roti immediately after taking out the dough from the fridge. First, keep the dough at room temperature for some time. When you take out the flour from the fridge, it is cold, due to which if you roll and bake rotis immediately, it tastes different and does not get soft.
The flour should not be too old.
You can keep the dough kneaded in the morning in the fridge and make rotis from it in the evening, but if the dough is too old, it will taste bad. Stale flour can also be harmful for summers. The rotis will also become very hard. Therefore, do not use too old flour.
