A small piece of plain roti is generally low risk for dogs, similar to other flatbreads, though the ghee or oil often brushed on adds unnecessary fat.
Roti dough itself carries no specific toxicity concern once cooked — the same general bread caution applies (see our bread page) rather than anything unique to roti. The ghee frequently brushed on for softness and flavour is the main addition worth limiting, given the fat content.
