Flaky Green Onion Parathas
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white whole wheat flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons + 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided*
1/2 – 2/3 cup regular unsweetened almond milk
1-2 stalks green onion, sliced
extra flour for dusting
oil for the pan
Combine flours and salt in a large bowl and mix to combine. Add 2 tablespoons oil and almond milk and stir until mixture begins to form a ball. Kneed for 5 minutes then cover with a damp towel and allow to rest for 1 hour.
After the dough has rested, separate into 6 sections and roll into balls. On a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll each ball out until approximately 1/8-inch thick.
Spread approximately 1-2 teaspoons oil evenly over the top and sprinkle with approximately 2 teaspoons green onion.
Roll each circle into a log. You should end up with a strip of dough, approximately 1-inch tall by 8 inches wide. Press to flatten dough slightly and stretch so that it is approximately 2 inches wider than before.
Roll the strip into a ball, similar to a cinnamon roll. Repeat with remaining dough until all has been used.
Place balls on a plate and cover with a damp towel for an additional hour.
After resting the second time, again, roll each ball into a circle approximately 1/8-inch thick. Set aside.
Heat a teaspoon oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add a paratha and cook for approximately 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear. Remove paratha from pan and repeat until all remaining dough has been used.
* NOTE: If you wish to have a nice buttery taste, simply substitute vegan buttery spread for the oil and proceed with recipe as directed.
