In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, arrowroot powder, and salt.
Mix the coconut milk and water together in a separate container until well combined.
Slowly add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, kneading gently to form a dough.
Melt the coconut oil and add 2 tablespoons to the dough. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside to rest for 15 minutes.
On a clean surface, flatten one dough ball into a thin circle using a rolling pin. Brush the surface lightly with olive oil.
Gently fold the flattened dough in an accordion-style pleat, then coil it into a spiral shape.
Gently flatten the coiled dough spiral again into a circular shape using the rolling pin.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the parotta on the skillet.
Cook each side for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown, brushing with a little more olive oil if needed.
Repeat steps 6-10 for the remaining dough balls.
Serve warm as an accompaniment to your favorite Whole30-compliant dish.
