Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 cup Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

Step 2

Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

Gradually add the warm water and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix with a spoon or your hands until a soft dough forms. The dough should be pliable and not too sticky. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour; if it’s too dry, add a bit more water (a tablespoon at a time).

Step 4

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.

Step 5

Place one dough ball on a clean, flat surface lightly dusted with gluten-free flour. Using a rolling pin, gently roll out each ball into a thin circle, approximately 6-7 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Add a few drops of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Carefully place the rolled-out dough onto the hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until bubbles start forming on the surface.

Step 8

Flip the roti using a spatula and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes or until both sides have light brown spots.

Step 9

Remove the roti from the skillet, brush with a little of the remaining unsalted butter for added flavor, and place it in a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm.

Step 10

Repeat the rolling and cooking process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 11

Serve warm with your favorite curry or dish.
