Multi-layered, extra flaky flatbread. [Save 20% on Spring Baking]( [logo]( Bake of the Week Lachha Paratha (Flaky Paratha) [hero]( Tatiana Bautista Editorial Coordinator Dear bakers, I've been on a bit of a flatbread kick lately — whipping up [Quick and Easy Flatbreads]( on a whim for weekend breakfasts and leveling up my taco nights with [Corn Tortillas](. Slowing down and leaning into the process of shaping each round and work with my hands is meditation in the kitchen. [Lachha Paratha](, our Bake of the Week, comes from cookbook author Tara O'Brady, and it's an irresistible, buttery flatbread that will convince you grab your [rolling pin]( ASAP. First, you roll the [whole wheat](-based dough into very thin rounds. Then, [brush]( the surface with melted ghee and shower it with a mixture of chopped cilantro, garlic, and bhuna jeera (roasted cumin). There are as many ways to fold a paratha as there are types of paratha (too many to count!), but here's what Tara recommends: roll each round into a cigar shape, then coil it like a cinnamon bun before flattening it with a rolling pin. That process of rolling and coiling creates the parathas' signature flakiness, as it builds distinct layers of ghee, dough, and aromatics . Once you've gotten the process down, you'll become a paratha-making machine. Or better yet, get an extra set of hands in the kitchen to create an assembly line of rolling and coiling. Lachha Paratha cook up on a skillet in a matter of minutes, so once they get a final gloss of ghee, they're ready to tear into and dip into whatever dals, curries, chutneys, or dips you desire.
