Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain yogurt (dairy or non-dairy)
  • Water as needed for dough consistency

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt if using. Stir to evenly distribute all dry components.
  2. Add Yogurt: Stir in the yogurt until the mixture begins to come together into a dough. If the dough feels too dry or crumbly, add a small amount of water gradually until it achieves a soft, pliable consistency suitable for kneading.
  3. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for about one minute until smooth and elastic. Then divide it into 4 equal portions for shaping.
  4. Roll Out: Roll each dough portion into an oval flatbread approximately 1/4 inch thick, ensuring even thickness to promote uniform cooking.
  5. Cook the Naan: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place one naan at a time in the skillet and cook each side for 2-3 minutes until they develop golden brown spots and are cooked through. Repeat for all portions.
  6. Serve: Serve the naan warm, pairing it with your favorite dishes like curries, chutneys, or use as a base for wraps or sandwiches.

Notes

  • You can use dairy or non-dairy yogurt depending on your preference or dietary restriction.
  • Adding water slowly is important to avoid making the dough too sticky.
  • Cook the naan on a preheated skillet with medium-high heat for best texture and color.
  • This recipe yields 4 pieces, perfect for small families or as a side for meals.
  • Gluten-free flour blends vary, so adjust water quantity based on the specific brand used.
