Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 1 cup Tapioca starch
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Butter or ghee (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and gradually pour in the warm water and olive oil. Use your hands to mix and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and pliable. If the dough is too dry, add a bit more water; if it is too sticky, sprinkle a little more tapioca starch.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Cover the balls with a damp cloth and let them rest for 15 minutes.

Step 4

On a clean, lightly floured surface (using tapioca starch or additional gluten-free flour), roll out each dough ball into a thin circle, approximately 8 inches in diameter.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or flat pan over medium heat. If using, melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter or ghee in the skillet.

Step 6

Place the rolled dough onto the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until small brown spots start to appear and the bread puffs up slightly.

Step 7

Remove the cooked roti prata from the skillet and keep it warm by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel. Repeat the process for the remaining dough.

Step 8

Serve the gluten-free roti prata warm with your favorite curry or dip of choice.
