Description

A soft, fluffy, and flavorful flatbread made without gluten, perfect for pairing with Indian dishes or enjoying on its own.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt (dairy or dairy-free)
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or melted ghee
  • Optional: garlic, chopped cilantro, or nigella seeds for topping

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Add the yogurt and mix until a crumbly dough begins to form.
  3. Gradually add warm water and knead into a soft, pliable dough.
  4. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes covered with a damp cloth.
  5. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into an oval or teardrop shape.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brush it lightly with oil or ghee.
  7. Cook each naan for 2–3 minutes on one side until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
  8. Brush the hot naan with more ghee or oil and sprinkle with optional toppings if desired.
  9. Serve warm.

Notes

  • You can use dairy-free yogurt for a vegan version.
  • Resting the dough helps it become more elastic.
  • Cook naan on high heat for authentic texture and browning.
