Description
This Vegan Gluten Free Naan recipe is soft, fluffy, and dairy-free, made without yeast for a quick and easy flatbread that pairs perfectly with curries, stews, and plant-based dips. It’s ideal for gluten-sensitive and vegan eaters alike.
Ingredients
¾ cup gluten-free 1:1 flour blend
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup dairy-free yogurt (coconut or almond)
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup warm water (plus more as needed)
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add dairy-free yogurt and olive oil, then gradually mix in warm water until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead lightly for about a minute until smooth, then cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
4. Divide dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each into a ¼-inch thick oval or circle on a lightly floured surface.
5. Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden with brown spots.
6. Optional: brush cooked naan with olive oil or melted vegan butter and sprinkle with herbs or garlic.
7. Serve warm or store in an airtight container after cooling.
Notes
This dough does not require yeast, so no rising time is needed.
Use a gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum for best results.
Naan can be reheated in a skillet or toaster to bring back its soft texture.
