Method
 

  1. Combine melted butter and oil in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl and add water. Knead until dough smooth - about 4-5 minutes if kneading by hand and about 2 minutes if using a stand mixer
  3. Cover dough with plastic wrap or a clean, damp washcloth or paper towel and allow to rest for 20 minutes.
  4. Using a dough cutter, separate dough into 8-10 pieces.
  5. Using a rolling pin, roll each piece out to 1/8-1/16 inch thickness in a fairly circular shape then using a pastry brush, spread a thin layer across the surface of the rolled out dough.
  6. Cut a line from the center of the rolled out dough to the edge
  7. Starting at a cut end, roll it up, tucking the ends to keep a circular shape. Repeat this with all the other pieces of dough, keeping them covered with plastic wrap until final roll.
  8. Roll dough out a final time to about 1/16 inch (or as thin as possible)
  9. On a non-stick pan over medium-high heat cook until lightly brown/golden on each side, brushing cooked side with butter/oil mixture once flipped.
  10. Remove from heat and immediately "clap" your roti or alternatively, place in a lidded container (like tupperware) and shake vigorously for 5-10 seconds to release layers
