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
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, mix gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder thoroughly to ensure even distribution of leavening and seasoning.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the almond milk and olive oil into the dry mixture and stir to form a rough dough.
- Knead the Dough: Gently knead the mixture until a smooth, cohesive dough forms, ensuring all flour is incorporated and the dough has an elastic texture suitable for rolling.
- Divide Dough: Portion the dough into small equal-sized balls for even cooking and manageable naan sizes.
- Roll Out: Using a rolling pin, flatten each dough ball into a thin, round shape to approximate traditional naan dimensions.
- Heat Skillet: Preheat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat until hot but not smoking, preparing the surface for cooking.
- Cook Naan: Place each rolled dough flatbread onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown spots appear and the bread is cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the skillet and serve immediately while warm to enjoy the soft texture and enhanced flavor.
Notes
- You can add garlic powder or other herbs for extra flavor.
- Ensure the skillet is preheated properly to achieve a nice golden-brown crust.
- Roll the dough evenly to avoid thick or undercooked spots.
- This recipe is perfect for gluten-free and vegan diets, using almond milk instead of dairy.
- Serve naan with curries, soups, or as a sandwich base.
