Roll each section of dough into a ball the size of a golf ball. After the dough has been divided out, take each section and roll it between your palms to create a rounded shape. After each ball is formed, put it back on the plate.

How to place the dough ball in Roti Maker Electric Automatic

Place one dough ball in the machine between the middle and the top.

Instead of setting the dough right in the middle of the roti maker, place it closer to the hinge of the machine. Right in the middle of the top half section is the best place for it, so that the dough doesn’t get squeezed out around the sides.

• You can always experiment with the dough placement to see which position works best for you!
