No reviews

A soft, slightly charred flatbread that’s vegan and gluten-free, perfect for wraps, dipping, or pairing with curries.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
  • 1/2 cup tapioca starch
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup plain non-dairy yogurt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 24 tbsp warm water

Instructions

  1. Whisk together gluten-free flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a bowl.
  2. Stir in non-dairy yogurt, olive oil, and warm water to form a soft, slightly sticky dough.
  3. Rest the dough for 20–30 minutes to allow starches to hydrate fully.
  4. Divide the dough into 6 balls and roll each to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  5. Cook each naan on a dry, preheated cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 1–2 minutes per side until blistered and lightly charred.
  6. Brush with oil or garlic butter substitute after cooking.

Notes

For best results, use a well-seasoned cast-iron pan and preheat it for at least 5 minutes. Keep naan about 1/8–1/4 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
