2-Ingredient Rice Flour Recipe

What I love about this Rice Flour Bread:

I have been waiting for today to share this recipe for rice flour roti with you…

Why today? Because this is a magical recipe and I wanted to share it on the three-year anniversary of my most magical day: my wedding.

I know this is a totally absurd comparison, but this recipe for rice flour flatbread is kind of like my marriage. The flatbread is made up of two simple ingredients (rice flour + water). My marriage is made up of two simple people (me + Roby). BUT. When you put us together… we create something unexpected. Something magical.

(Yes, feel free to roll your eyes, lol).

What am I even talking about? Now that I’ve completely lost both of us… I’ll just talk about the bread 🙂

Rice Flour Roti

This rice flour roti, also known as akki roti, isn’t fancy. It’s not exceptionally flavorful or delicious or really anything other than a simple flatbread. It’s a vehicle that’ll help you scoop up meat, vegetables, or curry. 

I know a lot of my readers have food allergies and so I’m hoping that this flatbread will be really useful to those of you who can eat rice flour. (If you can’t eat rice flour, then try my paleo naan, coconut flour naan, or my paleo roti).

How to Make Roti (2 ingredients, Gluten Free)

You boil some water and then add rice flour. It forms a crumbly mixture, like this:

Dump the crumbly mixture onto a piece of parchment paper and knead until you form the dough. Shape the dough into a large log and then cut the log into six pieces (or however many pieces you want):

Roll each piece into a ball:

Then flatten the ball between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll them out as thin as you can. Cook the rice flour flatbreads on a non-stick skillet over medium heat until both sides are cooked through:

Easy, right? I can’t wait to hear what you think!

Is Rice Flour Gluten-Free?

Yes! This roti is completely gluten-free because it’s made with rice flour.
