Ingredients

• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup sorghum flour
• 0.25 cup tapioca starch
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup warm water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, sorghum flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly with a whisk to ensure even distribution.

Step 3

Slowly add the warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously with a spoon until the dough begins to form.

Step 4

Add the olive oil into the dough mix and knead gently until it becomes a soft and pliable dough ball.

Step 5

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes. This resting time will allow the flour to fully absorb the liquids and relax.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it slightly with your palm.

Step 7

Place a sheet of parchment paper on your countertop. Place one dough ball on the paper, and cover it with another sheet of parchment paper.

Step 8

Using a rolling pin, roll out each dough ball into a round disc, approximately 6 inches in diameter and about 1/8 inch thick. Remove the top parchment paper gently.

Step 9

Preheat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat.

Step 10

Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to the hot skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and small bubbles form on the surface.

Step 11

Flip the roti using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, pressing down lightly until brown spots develop.

Step 12

Remove from the skillet and keep warm, covered with a clean towel. Repeat the process with remaining dough.

Step 13

Serve the gluten-free roti warm with your favorite curry or stew.
