'''''Atta''''' (Hindi: [[wikt:आटा|आटा]]) is a type of [[wheat flour]], originally from the [[Indian subcontinent]], used to make [[flatbread]]s.<br />
<br />
It is the most widespread flour in the Indian subcontinent.<br />
<br />
==Properties==<br />
Whole [[common wheat]] (''[[Triticum aestivum]]'') is generally used to make atta; it has a high [[gluten]] content, which provides elasticity, so the [[dough]] made out of atta flour is strong and can be rolled into thin sheets.<br />
<br />
The word "whole" is used to describe atta as it includes every component of the grain, meaning the bran, germ and the endosperm. <br />
<br />
Atta was traditionally [[Mill (grinding)|ground]] in the home on a stone chakki mill. This is useful when using a [[tandoor]], where the flatbread is stuck to the inside of the oven, and also makes chapatis softer as the dough absorbs more water. Atta is also produced in industrial flour mills.<br />
