Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Stir well to evenly distribute all the dry components.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour the almond milk and olive oil into the dry mixture. Stir to combine and begin forming the dough.
- Knead dough: Use your hands to knead the mixture until a smooth and cohesive dough forms, ensuring no dry patches remain.
- Divide dough: Separate the dough into small, equal-sized balls to prepare for shaping.
- Roll out naan: On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into a flat, round shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Preheat skillet: Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
- Cook naan: Place each rolled-out naan on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown spots appear. Flip and cook the other side for the same amount of time, ensuring the naan is cooked through and slightly puffed.
- Serve warm: Remove the naan from the skillet and serve immediately while warm, perfect for dipping or pairing with your favorite dishes.
Notes
- Keep the rolled-out dough covered to prevent drying while cooking the other pieces.
- For extra flavor, brush finished naan with garlic-infused olive oil or vegan butter.
- This recipe can be doubled or tripled easily for larger groups.
- Use a non-stick skillet for best results and easy flipping.
- Adjust thickness of naan to preference; thinner naan cooks faster but may be less fluffy.
