75 g tapioca starch

50 g sorghum flour 

1/2 tsp xanthan gum 

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup greek yogurt 

2 tsp olive oil 

make 

Proof yeast: 113ºF water, yeast and sugar. Let stand until bubbly.


Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the sorghum, tapioca, rice flours, salt, and xanthan gum.

Add Wet Ingredients: Add the yogurt and olive oil, to the flour mixture. 
Mix with a spoonuntil it forms a crumbly, sticky texture.

Knead: Slowly add yeast water while kneading to form a soft, smooth dough. 
The dough should be soft but not overly sticky.

Rest: Cover the dough with a damp cloth or bowl and let it rest for 15-20 minutes. 
This helps the flour absorb the water, making it easier to roll.

Shape: Divide the dough into 2-3 equal portions and shape them into balls. 
Using a rolling pin and extra flour for dusting, roll each ball between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap into a circle about ¼-inch thick.

Cook: Heat a cast-iron skillet or tava over medium-high heat. 
Place the rolled dough onto the hot skillet. 
Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles appear, then flip. 
Cook the other side for 1-2 minutes, pressing gently with a clean cloth
