Abstract

The possibility of using an automatic pizza making machine for mechanical sheeting of chapatti dough made from either traditional wheat flour or atta was studied. Key factors such as shape and size of initial dough feed, roller clearance, flour type, and optional ingredients were investigated to assess their effects on sheeting properties of the dough. The clearance needed to obtain a circular shaped chapatti of 15 cm diam. and 2 mm thickness was 3.6 and 1.8 mm for the primary and secondary pair of rollers, respectively. Addition of salt to the dough improved sheeting properties and also the chapatti shape. Inclusion of fat (4.0%) adversely affected sheeting properties, resulting in an oval-shaped chapatti. Dough made from atta had better sheeting properties than that made from wheat flour. Overall quality of chapattis made using the mechanical sheeting machine compared well with those that were hand sheeted. [From En summ.]
