'''''Atta''''' (Hindi: [[wikt:आटा|आटा]]) is a type of [[wheat flour]], originally from the [[Indian subcontinent]], used to make [[flatbread]]s.

It is the most widespread flour in the Indian subcontinent.

==Properties==
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.

The word "whole" is used to describe atta as it includes every component of the grain, meaning the bran, germ and the endosperm.

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.
