Whole wheat roti is best stored at room temperature in an airtight container or resealable bag to maintain its softness and prevent it from drying out. For longer storage, you can refrigerate the roti, which will extend its shelf life by a few days. To prevent sticking, place parchment paper between each roti. If you want to keep roti for an even longer period, consider freezing it. Wrap each roti individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. When ready to use, thaw at room temperature or gently reheat on a skillet or microwave.
