Ingredients for Vegan Naan:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup plain soy yogurt
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Vegan butter for brushing (optional)

Instructions to Make Vegan Naan Bread:

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the soy yogurt, water, and olive oil until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the Dough: Knead the dough on a floured surface for a few minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
  4. Rest the Dough: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rest for 1 hour.
  5. Preheat the Skillet: Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Shape the Naan: Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. On a floured surface, flatten each ball into an oval shape.
  7. Cook the Naan: Brush one side of the dough with water and place it water-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  8. Optional Step: For extra flavor, brush the cooked naan with vegan butter.
