A customer was left with a face full of dough after a chef threw a roti up into the air at a restaurant in central China.

Hilarious video filmed in the city of Wuhan in Hubei Province on July 24 shows a man throwing a flatbread into the air but failing to catch it.

The bread then fell onto a woman's face when she was dining at a table with her friends.

According to the video's provider Mr Zhong, the man was practising catching the roti and the bread was just a prop.

The woman was not angry and returned the bread back to the man with a smile. But the man was embarrassed and apologised before leaving.

The video was provided by local media with permission.

7月24日，湖北武汉。一餐馆小哥练习飞饼表演时突遇大风，飞饼刚好被吹到一女顾客脸上。视频提供者钟先生称，练习花式飞饼的小哥是他朋友，飞饼只是道具，当时恰好甩到女顾客脸上，女顾客没生气反而笑呵呵的把道具还给朋友，朋友边道歉边尴尬离场。女顾客也没有要求打折之类的补偿，觉得女顾客很善解人意。（视频由湖北台提供）
