In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, brown rice flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture begins to come together.
Knead the dough gently with your hands in the bowl for about 3-5 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable. If the dough is sticky, add a little extra gluten-free flour, a tablespoon at a time.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Lightly flour a clean surface with some extra gluten-free flour. Take one dough ball and roll it out into a circle approximately 6-7 inches in diameter using a rolling pin.
Heat a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled-out roti in the skillet.
Cook the roti for about 1-2 minutes on one side until small bubbles begin to form.
Flip the roti and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until it develops golden brown spots.
Remove the roti from the skillet and place it in a clean kitchen towel or foil to keep warm.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Serve the gluten-free rotis immediately with your favorite Indian dishes.
