Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-Free Wholewheat Flour Blend
- 1 tablespoon Psyllium Husk Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Warm Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free wholewheat flour blend, psyllium husk powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing continuously to form a soft dough. Adjust the water as needed to ensure the dough is pliable but not sticky.
Add the olive oil to the dough and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes to allow the psyllium husk to fully hydrate.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Lightly dust a clean surface with additional gluten-free flour. Using a rolling pin, roll each dough ball into a thin, circular chapati, approximately 6 inches in diameter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Place one rolled-out chapati onto the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form and the underside develops golden-brown spots.
Flip the chapati and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned in spots.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough portions. Keep the cooked chapatis warm in a clean kitchen towel until ready to serve.
Serve the gluten-free wholewheat chapatis warm with your favorite curry, dip, or vegetables.
