Gluten Free Chapati | 8 BREADS

Untitled design.png

I have been gluten free for 20 years. Yes, way before it was on trend! Living with illness forced me to look closely at what and how I ate starting in the 1980’s. I learned long ago that we are what we eat so I decided to take control of what I could. Admittedly, I miss bread thus I am always experimenting. This recipe is the convergence of many that I have tried over the years. It’s a little messy but well worth it!

INGREDIENTS
2 cups gluten free 1 to 1 flour mix, King Arthur or Bob's Red Mill
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum, in addition to that in GF mix
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup cold water
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons additional gluten free flour, four rolling dough

METHOD

  1. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Slowly add cold water to form dough and knead until smooth. Add oil and knead to incorporate. Cover dough with clean cloth and let sit for 30 minutes.

  2. Break dough into 8 portions and roll in hands to form large golf ball-sized pieces. Using a small handful of gluten free flour dust a flat surface and roll each piece with rolling pin.

  3. Heat a large pan (make sure it’s dry) and place each chapati, one at a time, in the pan. Cook for 3 minutes per side.
