===Chef's notes===
Any [[Breadmaker|breadmaker]] will be fine, so long as you follow your manufacturer's instructions. A [[Tortilla press|tortilla press]] is not necessary, but useful. If you do not have one, roll out the [[Dough|dough]] between two sheets of [[Bake-O-Glide]] or similar.

Chapattis can be [[Frozen|frozen]], after which they should be thoroughly [[defrosted]] and gently reheated.
===Chef's note===
If you don't have a [[tortilla press]], use 2 chopping boards or just two sheets of wood as a substitute. Place ball of [[dough]] between two non-stick surfaces such as small squares of [[Bake-O-Glide]] and stand on them!
