Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free flour blend
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Coconut sugar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, salt, xanthan gum, and coconut sugar. Mix thoroughly to ensure the dry ingredients are well incorporated.
Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients while mixing using your hands or a wooden spoon to form a dough. The dough should be soft and pliable but not sticky. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time.
Add the olive oil to the dough and knead it for about 5 minutes. The dough should become smoother as you knead it.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 15 minutes. This resting period helps to hydrate the flour and makes the dough easier to roll out.
Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Lightly dust a clean surface with some gluten-free flour. Roll each ball of dough into a flat circle, about 1/8 inch thick, using a rolling pin.
Heat a non-stick skillet or a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place a rolled-out chapati onto the skillet.
Cook the chapati for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until light brown spots appear. Use a spatula to gently press down on the chapati as it cooks to ensure even cooking.
Remove the cooked chapati from the skillet and place it in a clean cloth-lined basket. Cover with another cloth to keep warm while you cook the remaining chapatis.
Serve the vegan gluten-free chapatis warm with your favorite curries or dips.
