Dairy-Free Pol Roti (Coconut Roti)

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 2 cups All-Purpose Flour, 1 cup Grated Coconut, and 1/2 tsp Salt. Mix these dry ingredients together thoroughly.
2. 2Gradually add the 1/2 cup Water to the dry mixture in the bowl, mixing with your hands or a spoon until a soft, cohesive dough forms.
3. 3Transfer the dough to a clean, flat surface. Knead the dough for 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable to the touch.
4. 4Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Take one portion and roll it out with a rolling pin into a thin circular shape, approximately 15.24-20.32 cm (15-20 cm) in diameter. Repeat this process for the remaining 3 portions of dough.
5. 5Place a flat griddle or frying pan on the stove over medium heat. Allow it to heat for 2-3 minutes until hot; the surface temperature should be around 175°C. Lightly grease the hot griddle with a small amount of the 1 tbsp Coconut Oil.
6. 6Place one rolled roti onto the hot, greased griddle. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side, until golden brown spots appear on the surface and the edges begin to look dry. Flip the roti over using a spatula and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the second side, until golden brown spots appear there as well. Repeat this process for the remaining 3 rotis, adding a little more coconut oil to the griddle as needed for each.
7. 7Serve the Pol Roti warm immediately after cooking.
