Add flour to a mixing bowl. Add water a little bit at a time and start kneading the dough. Add water as needed to make a soft yet pliable dough ball. Makes sure to knead it for 4 to 5 minutes for perfect Bhakri.
Divide the dough into 3 balls. Take one ball and knead it again for one to two minutes.
Next spinkle 1 tablespoon of dry flour on a rolling surface and place the dough ball on the flour. Flatten the dough ball a bit to make a thick disc.
Now start pressing the dough on top of the dry flour, evenly distributing weight as the dough starts to flatten.
After its rolled 4 includes or so you can also try to press it down with 2 hands as shown by mom in the video.
Continue pressing down and turning the roti sprinkling dry flour on the bottom if needed so the roti turns easily without sticking.
Carefully lift the roti and then place it on a preheated pan with the flour side up. Lightly spread (or brush) one to two tablespoons of water on top of the bhakri keeping the pan on medium-high heat. The moisture on the roti will start to dry up in one to two minutes.
Carefully flip the roti using a flat spatula and cook teh bottom side completely or until it get light brown spots all over.
Flip the roti again on the pan itself or on direct flame.
If you are cooking on the pan, press down gently allowing the roti to fluff up. If cooking on direct flame makes sure to rotate the roti so it cooks evenly. The roti is done when you see brown spots on the bottom side.
Repeat steps for the remaining dough balls.
