No reviews

A soft and slightly chewy vegan gluten-free naan perfect for curries and dips, made with pantry-friendly ingredients and cooked on the stovetop.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6–8 naans (about 6–8 inches each)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (cup-for-cup blend with xanthan or add 1 tsp xanthan)
  • 1 cup tapioca starch
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup warm plant milk (about 105–110°F)
  • 1/4 cup plain dairy-free yogurt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp aquafaba (or melted vegan butter)

Instructions

  1. Whisk dry ingredients together in a bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine warm plant milk, dairy-free yogurt, olive oil, and aquafaba.
  3. Mix wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  4. Let the dough rest for 20–30 minutes to hydrate.
  5. Divide into 6–8 balls and roll into 1/4-inch thickness on a floured surface.
  6. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Cook each naan for 2–3 minutes per side until puffed and charred.
  8. Brush with vegan butter and minced garlic, if desired.

Notes

For a variation, try adding minced garlic and chopped cilantro to the dough for garlic-cilantro naan.
