If Babish keeps assuming I've got an outdoors pizza oven, I'm going to need him to send me one.
If Babish keeps assuming I have a KitchenAid, I'm going to need him to send me one.
If Babish keeps assuming I've got the patience to make food for myself, I'm going to need him to send me some.
if babish keeps assuming im gonna use homemade bread, i'm gonna need him to send me some.
If babish keep assuming I have cast iron he better send me one
@@cathpalug1221 if babish keeps assuming i've got him in my home i'm going to need him to send me himself
We used to split single pita bread, and make pita bread pizzas when I was a kid. I had no clue this was dinner on the cheap. I thought they were amazing
cool
Did you make those pizzas with tomato sauce?
nice
Make meat with them.
@@natantitelbaum6061 yeah. Sometimes Alfredo too
Topic suggestion: Intentionally make “common” mistakes and show ways to correct them without starting over.
YEAH! Starting with my Dad!

The fact that Babish can make a roti puff up perfectly on the first try makes me doubt my cooking skills
First try on camera. Always remember when watching tv that they're allowed to try as many times as they want and only show you the best one.
He learned from the late, great Floyd Cardoz.
@@GadBoDag whaat really??
@@iownalawnmower4942 You surprised ?
Practice more. It took me like a week to make it soft and puffy.
roti done right. just like my mom makes it. perfect.
Babish makes a perfect gol roti. If he was Indian/Pakistani, his mum would have been so proud.
Ikr!!! Perfect phulka😍
@@Anas_Munir I know right! my mom took one look at the shape and literally praised him more than she has my entire life. I gotta stop showing her his vids
This reminded me of my mother's roti.
he learned it from someone that grew up in india, so no wonder right?
correction:he already knew it, but that person helped perfect his own
As an indian....I got the happy hormones watching babish's roti "bubble up"
ikrrrrr
Proud desi moments
I clapped for him
Indians unite!
@@madhavved2875 agreed
The fact that he made those perfect circles look so easy to make was the real trick
"Today we're making flatbread, so first we must invent geometry."
@@SaiyanHeretic Pythagoras would have made amazing tortillas.
I remember when you were recording on a phone and using the most basic kitchen stuff. Look how far you’ve come well done babish!
Hail Sithis!
@@slytherinsagittarius2580 may we serve the dread father in the void!
Hail Astrid!
@@rrivals126 ha, she's looking crisper than my morning bacon
@@redmoon383 She's kinda cute like that tbh
In my country, there’s a saying: Roti swell, marriage go well. Seems like Jess is a lucky gal.
Interesting. They say the same about tortillas. Guess Babish is covered on both bases.
“Get this preheated to 666 degrees Fahrenheit”
Well Babish looks like you got some possessed flatbread
Get the holy flour, it will usually convict it to stay unpossessed. Might even wanna use blessed holy anti grease spray.
@@MilkyMistress Just add a little bit of Kosher salt to exorcise.
Demonic possession required to inflate and puff the pita.
Having a vision of the levels of Danté's Inferno separated by layers of pita
He is vaccinated so it makes sense
"even unleavened bread is still technically leavened" - the exact wrong thing to say at a passover seder
This video reminds me of watching Floyd Cardoz talk about Roti. It's one of my favourite BCU videos because he has such a wonderful presence that compliments Andy's. RIP.
Ya 🥺
As an Indian who grew up eating it every day, the Roti was pretty legit!
Same but I can't remember seeing anyone using a processor tho
@Despacito? Ka-chow oh i never seen it before here in the Caribbean they just make everything by hand even in large shops
Yeah but roti is made from whole wheat flour he used what we call Maida
@Despacito? Ka-chow I have never seen a Indian use a machine to make roti
@@jashanjitsingh6516 I mean some people must have? It's more common in places outside India, but there must be people who have to make big batches and hence can't knead it all by hand? Like some food kitchens
Pixie dust method only way to go, same with blowing out candles for birthdays
No face knows
*covid laughs microscopically*
I dunno, I really like the "pass it between your hands" method.😝
Just don't do both at the same time; aerosolized flour is explosive.
Legendary Pfp there bud
Babish could you try making some jollof rice or just any Nigerian food? Loved this vid!
Yes Please!!
Yessss bro that would be amazing maybe kenkey for the west Africa culture
I was going to make a joke but no.
YES!!!!!
Yes! I was thinking of Jollof rice at this minute.
“Get this guy preheated to around 666 degrees Fahrenheit”…mark of the YEAST
😂
Underrated comment. Maybe it just needs time to rise.
@@sydneygrace2665 great
So could we do an oatmeal episode? I feel like there are soo many options when it comes to what most consider a bland breakfast
The problem with oatmeal isn't blandness. It's that it's like eating a bowl of pre-digested food.
Hey I love that idea! Oatmeal can be such an exciting breakfast with a little love. Just a little fresh fruit and milk and I’m on cloud nine! ☺️
@@grabble7605 you must not know how to make oatmeal
@@grabble7605 maybe try adding less water? i like a really thick oatmeal myself, you almost have to cut into it. the oats are less mushy and more like the chew of the whole grain pieces.
@@gwennorthcutt421 Thick oatmeal is just eating pre-digested food with little moisture in it.
May the odds be ever in your favor.
Oh wait, wrong Pita.
You comment, however, warrants an applause from me. Well done.
...go put your nose in the corner, right now.
Nice!
Ever in your flavor….
This cultured man/woman who has read hunger games
Babish is probably sustaining every store's flour sales in 30 miles at this point. Any and all bread however, sits sad on the shelf.
Would love to see you make swedish knäckebröd
Ooh, that would be cool!!
Me 2
Or tunnbröd and serve it with surströmming.
AHHH PEWDIEPIE KNÄCKEBRÖD OOOUUUU
@@rizaradri316 homemade Surströmming recipe would be dope
Video idea: the "edible devices" used by Heavy Weapons Guy in Team Fortress 2. Including:
-the Sandvich (which has an on-screen recipe)
-the Dalokohs Bar (chocolate bar)
-the Fishcake (breaded fishcake)
-the Buffalo Steak Sandvich (a sandvich-sized ribeye steak to be eaten by hand)
NGL, this was the best roti I've seen an American make!
BIG compliment
Thats 'cause he was taught by Floyd Cardozin an earlier episode just over a year ago
word!
_Flatbread, or as the people from the 2D universe call it -_
_Bread_
That's funny 😂
It's so magical when the roti blows up like that! My stove' electric though, idk if that would work very well...
Electric should work but may not be as effective as direct fire. Induction, definitely no. Check out Adam Ragusea's naan video.
@@Insaneani yes! I’ve made that naan on an electric stove and it was great!
@@Hannah-zw9ow Awesome 🙌
Who else tried to say: "Freshly fried falafel"?
As a former theatre major, there was no trying involved
Falafel is palestinian
CHANGE MY MIND
@@HumorManJevil this is actually the real reason. Not because Jerusalem, not because the canaan land, not because religion, not money, and not politics
Israel and palestine dispute is because of this, Falafel copyright
@@HumorManJevil it’s Levantine not exclusively Palestinian bro
...with all the fixings.
Am I going to recreate the recipe shown here?
No.
Am I still going to watch every video on this channel?
Yes.
i've never had a pita pocket that didn't have the texture of suede shoes that have been left outside in the rain and thrown into the dryer so i'm definitely gonna try this
Challenge: make the food from Resident Evil 8 Village, and if possible, a better version of those dishes.
Ethan Winters was the dish in that game
.........😏
Cringe
😔
Down with Pitas. I believe in *Naan supremacy.*
I used to make everyday flatbread and I found out that what's amazing about them is that they always come out different but their freshness, fluffyness from being made and eaten almost immediately is what makes them special along with the semi roasted, burned parts
"semi roasted, burned parts"
So are they roasted or burned? Which is it?
Whenever I heard Roti, I heard my Bengali's neighbor who complaining that term refers to all bread exist in Indonesia...
Well, technically, you're right. Even here in India, the specific term for this type of roti is Tawa Roti. Tawa means pan. And then there are other types of rotis like Khameeri (Yeast) roti, and Tandoori (Clay oven baked) roti. But because mostly when we eat at home, the default is tawa roti, we don't feel the need to add the adjective and we just call it Roti and I guess that's why at least in India most people would think of this before anything else when they think of Roti.
@@indusinghtanwar2711 Yes! Also, for some instances, there's (so saying) arabian or maybe persian traditional bread that popular in here and using the term Roti too. But in reality, it was sort of another flatbread but spiral things.
@@FALL-LAFF-7477 are you refering to roti maryam in Indonesia? I don't know whether it's the same or not, but andrew made something very similar in indian roti video, i think it's called laccha parata using whole wheat flour.
@@indusinghtanwar2711 so is naan a type of roti then? Pardon my ignorance
@@CSRgamer technically, it maybe. I can't say for sure but I have never heard anyone can it Naan roti. Also, I feel like that would sound equally as annoying as calling it 'Naan bread'. I guess the logic here maybe like how while most sandwiches have the word sandwich with them, you don't call a burger a burger sandwich. It's called just a burger even though technically, it is a type of a sandwich. I hope my answer is helpful.
When my Dad brought me to a Bengali village as a kid, I woke up to a breakfast that I cannot and will never forget. It had toasted sunny side up duck eggs, Potato Bazi (Google that) and 3 types of flat bread along with it :
Roti (No Oil)
Chapati /Paratha (Oil in Batter)
Puri (Oil in Batter and then deep fried)
It was unforgettably amazing.
Babish, I dare you to make all three.
Skoll.
Ooooo this is a Bengali staple! Aloo bazi with puri is a treat these days! The best part is how simple and filling yet flavourful it is
4:47 is a moment I'm absolutely living for, and will absolutely clip thank you
my mom makes roti by hand, and makes every measurement by eye,,, its so unfamiliar to watch someone ACTUALLY measure the stuff
I agree measuring food is sus
@@stolenshortsword bruh my mum does it by eye idk how she does it but shes on a different level altogether
Can‘t all be moms with all that experience, can we?
@@paperbackwriter1111 no what is saing is that the moms dont need to measure therefor moms are better at cooking
@@idkman4748 Those specific things, yes.
"...placing the bread directly on the flame"
*cries in german where almost everyone has an electric stove*
he used the more tradtiotional method, but you can totally increase the heat and get the same results in a electric stove. My dad have one and he does just fine! It might take a few tries (even those who are not all puffed up should be pretty decent to eat) but you can do it! :)
@@vaishnavisingh9244 yes! I’ve made naan on my electric stove by turning the heat up super high and then holding the bread (in an upside down pan) in the hot air above the coils. Since moving into an apartment we only have electric stoves, no real fire anymore 😭
Babish literally made me passionate about cooking, something I've never even tried before watching him.
you should also check out Nick Digiovanni
@@Karthik-kj3sl That dude’s awesome!!
Basics intro always gets me, my favorite intro!
Flatbreads are a staple! You can do wraps, pizzas, borek, whatever you want with them, great basics episode!!!! Also it is a great way to preserve grains, especially in the case of Lavash.
I just had an extremely hard french test that was stressful so after watching your videos are calming me down
Perfect timing, I've have been looking for more info on different flat bread ideas and tricks to try and adapt for use with my sourdough discard.
I’ve always wondered how to make flatbread, so thanks Andrew.
Be careful with the excess flour that stays in the pan, burnt flour tastes absolutely terrible
wow! 115 episodes of basics, i just realized how much work you've done
thank you for that!
5:32 there’s this Greek/Lebanese restaurant called Ike’s that everyone from my church likes to go to, and they do their pita this way. It ROCKS.
I might be wrong but I think that's Cypriot pita and in main land Greece in restaurants the call it Cypriot pita for souvlaki or gyros. I don't know if other countries do them the same way.
@@xtraktor. Arab countries do the same
Imagine not going to chef school, right Babish?
*Right?*
I spent entire childhood to learn making round rotis and her he did just like that🤣
So, for the pan pita you should use the highest flame and flip the pita every 10-15 seconds. That is how you avoid the problem discussed in the video.
I'm so glad you re-recorded the Squarespace spot. It's much better!
When i was a little kid in Somalia, i remember those being cooked on the inside of literal barrels, with fire burning at the bottom of the inside of said barrels. Never ate anything like that again
In India that’s called a tandoor oven, many Indian restaurants in America have them
@@boygenius538_8 Yeah i'm confident that 95% of Somalian, and much of eastern African food is imported from India, even though with some changes(Halva, for examples, is an almos gelatinous blob where i come from)
I asked and the universe answered! 🥳🥳🥳 I have been meaning to make flatbread!
My friend down the street makes pita all the time. He refuses to get the store-bought stuff and after eating his, I agree. Pita and other flatbreads just do not handle room-temperature storage as well as loaf bread.
I absolutely loved this! 3 methods- wow! can't even imagine that I can do flatbread without a yeast.thank you!
*42 videos* have passed of asking Babish to make a _collaboration_ with Ordinary Sausage.
A common question within philosophy, is that "if you stuff a flatbread so it's filled to the brim, then is it still technically a flatbread?"
Even Diogenes had to deal with such a moral quandry within his lifetime
A simple question but one that is impossible to answer
I don't know if anyone else has suggested it, but the dinner scene (where he has to order food to be delivered) from Mrs. Doubtfire is my ultimate favorite. Here's to hoping you can teach me how to make it
The fact you got a perfectly puffed sada roti amazes me, very inspiring to actually restart making roti
Kinda sad he didn't cover the perfection that is "Piadina Romagnola"
This made me think babish should cover donairs they are delicious
Try to make "Pane Carasau", a typical Sardinian bread, crispy and flat. You start basically with flatbread, but when it becomes a ball, you cut it all along the "equator" line and press it between fabric sheets. Then, you proceed to dry it eliminating all the water and humidity by using low-temperature oven. It can be stored for months and can be used to make some kind of rolls like a burrito or stuff like that, by adding water some minutes before the preparation.
My mom was proud to see your roti. When we serve it hot from the stove, we call them phulka [fool-kaa] which literally translates to air filled roti
Please make pea soup from The Rescuers: Down Under
Yo love the videos man keep up the amazing work
I miss a sandwich shop I used to go to when growing up. Almost all of their sandwiches were in pita pockets. Egg salad, tuna salad, chicken salad, roast beef, chicken club, blt, etc all in pitas. The sandwiches were served with a slice of freshly made pickle and freshly made potato chips.
Watching a roti being made right is the most satisfying feeling, period.
Maybe a Basics episode for sausages? Maybe a colab with Ordinary Sausage?
Maybe?
No
Who needs notifications when your always on TH-cam.
used to make pizzas like that last one while working at subway. grab a wrap, some sauce and add some topping and those toaster ovens make short work of it.
He mentioned Gemmas Bigger Bolder Baking! I'm so happy to hear that haha
Flat bread means I can pack more filling stuff inside my sandwich. I appreciate that.
I’m sending this to my long distance girlfriend. She relies heavily on food stamps, and I think this may help her a lot
The world may not be perfect, but with this channel, it sure does taste better! Thank you Andrew :)
Babish has made rotis rounder than mine. And I'm Indian. Also, so happy you referenced Gemma Stafford. She's awesome too.
Id like to see how he makes a crispy chicken sandwich. Give KFC and Chik-fil-a a run for their money.
Ordinary Sausage wants your location...
I was thinking about this just a few days ago. Thank you!
As i am not paying atention, i will therefore assume that it's magic
okay as someone who only toasts their pitas, how do you handle them? they’re SO HOT?
Egyptian pita bread also uses wheat flour. It gives a very authentic taste, similar to local bread bakeries you'd find everywhere in Egypt.
I was about to say: what about the yogurt recipe? And 3 min later into the video he does it!!! Absolute mad lad!!! Love from Greece! The ultimate pita eaters!
I have never made any of these foods or tried, and I still watch all of these videos, I really don't know why, but i'm not complaining
FLATBREADDDD 🫓
Man... This has brought back memories of me making roti and various sabji for my Mother for a few years when I was still back home. I could make tasty sabji, but my roti almost always just had different shapes. >_< Rarely could I make them perfectly round. She told me "it's been a year that you've been making roti, and you still can't get it round everytime". So I said "Mom, your stomach won't complain about the shape" lol.
I miss her everyday ♥
Awesome! Looking forward to trying these!
Le Indians: We eat Roti (Chapati) and Paratha (The last flat bread preparation with Ghee (Clarified butter)) everyday in breakfast, lunch and dinner.
want a real flatbread challenge? try to make "pane carasau" :D
How is that a challenge? It's just yeast flatbread. He did that.
@@grabble7605 the preparation is quite difficult my friend
Making the first flatbread with my dad for Father's Day.
Hope you look into the Nordic flatbread also one time and the birch bark bread too. ( not the actual bark used,but the intermediate layer between the wood and the bark, dry it up and grind it . Then dilute the flour with it.)
The fact my favourite food TH-camr uses music from my favourite music Channel with the album from my favourite artist makes me smile
Indian parents: No one will marry you, if your rotis aren't round!
haha so true.
hahahah, nice one :D
One CAN use a cast iron pan for cooking at high temps: get it ripping hot, meanwhile get your broiler ripping hot as well. Start on the stove, then put under broiler. Voila! Cooked on both sides
I have tried and failed making flat bread. But I'll not surrender. I will try following this video.
Ryan Reynolds cooking has really got me interested in it right now 😎😀
Normally the Roti is cooked longer. You want more blistering
You dareeee defy the great babish 😤😤😂😂 nah I’m kidding
Bigger bolder baking! Love it
The roti dough can also very easily be turned into tortilla dough with a couple tiny tweaks. Mix a couple of pinches of baking powder into the flour, rub a little shortening (lard, butter, crisco) into the dry stuff, then follow basically the rest of the method the same way
Me : an Indian , watching banish use words like 70 percent water , medium high heat , makes me feel that we are doing roti wrong
Yea, it feels really weird(i am pakistani so i can make fun of babish too) we just turn on the stove and plop the roti onto it[no measurements what so ever]
@@aunimations2354 ikrrrr , roti doesn’t have to be this complicated
He invented the most complicated roti ever (>▽
I was hoping he would make porotta😔
That's what's for dinner at my home tonight
Hes already done a video on it . Search for indian flatbreads by babish.
Impressed with your Roti technique. As a follow up I suggest stuffing your roti dough with potatoes/onions or something else and pan frying it like the last bread for a quick meal all in one dish.
Oh there is also the flatbread that's flour and mash potato mixed no need for water. I think there is a Norwegian version called Lefse.
In case you need an idea for the Fourth of July, what about the U.S. Flag Cake from The Simpsons episode, "Mypods and Broomsticks"?
