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 large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder, ensuring they are evenly mixed.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the almond milk and olive oil to the dry mix.
- Knead the Dough: Gently knead the mixture until a smooth, pliable dough forms, which should be soft but not sticky.
- Divide Dough: Split the dough into small, equal-sized balls for uniform cooking.
- Roll Out: On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a flat, round shape resembling a traditional naan.
- Heat Skillet: Preheat a skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking.
- Cook Naan: Place each rolled dough onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the naan turns golden brown and develops light char marks.
- Serve Warm: Remove the naan from the skillet and serve immediately to enjoy its soft texture and warm flavor.
Notes
- Optional garlic powder adds subtle savory flavor but can be omitted for a plain naan.
- Ensure the skillet is properly heated before cooking for even browning.
- You can brush the cooked naan with olive oil or vegan butter for extra richness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently to maintain softness.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley to the dough for a flavor twist.
