Almond Flour Roti
An almond flour roti made with just 4 ingredients! All you need to make this Indian flatbread is almond flour, salt, oil, and water to make this gluten-free roti. It is a bit thick like bhakri with a satisfying bite.
Servings: 4 roti
Equipment
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 roti press or tortilla press
- 1 zip loc bag or plastic wrap
- 1 tawa or griddle
Ingredients
- 1⅛ cup almond flour I used the Kirkland brand from Costco
- 1 tsp oil plus extra for greasing the plastic wrap or zip loc bag
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ cup water
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the almond flour, oil and salt. Mix well with hands or a fork to ensure even distribution of salt and oil.
- Knead the Dough: Add half the water, mix to combine. Then slowly add remaining water as needed. I used all of the amount listed. Knead well with your hands for five minutes.
- You will get a smooth, pliable dough. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough into four portions approximately the same size.
- Make Roti: Line a tortilla press with plastic wrap or a cut ziploc bag on both the top and bottom. Place the lightly flattened almond flour roti on the bottom.Alternatively, you can place a ball of dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough into a thin, round roti.I find the tortilla press to be easier and makes the roti much more manageable.
- Cook on a PanHeat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Carefully transfer the flattened roti onto the hot pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown spots appear.
- Repeat: Repeat the rolling and cooking process for the remaining dough portions.
- Serve: Serve the almond flour roti warm.
