Ingredients

• 300 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 50 grams Tapioca starch
• 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 240 milliliters Warm water
• 100 milliliters Coconut milk
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Additional olive oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, psyllium husk powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water and coconut milk to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to form a soft dough.

Step 3

Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Add olive oil gradually during the kneading process to prevent it from sticking.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Coat each ball lightly with some additional olive oil.

Step 5

Cover the balls with a damp cloth and let them rest for 30 minutes to allow the psyllium husk to hydrate and the dough to relax.

Step 6

After resting, lightly oil a clean work surface. Take one dough ball and flatten it with your hands to form a thin round shape, about 8-10 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Cook each flattened dough for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 8

Repeat the rolling and cooking process for all the dough balls, adding more olive oil to the pan as necessary.

Step 9

Serve the roti canai warm with your favorite curry or dipping sauce.
