Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (ensure it has xanthan gum)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup plain yogurt (unsweetened)
- ¼ cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus more for cooking)
Optional Flavor Additions
- garlic, herbs, or spices for added flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the yogurt, warm water, and olive oil. Stir until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Using your hands or a wooden spoon, combine until a sticky dough forms.
- Lightly flour your work surface with more gluten-free flour. Turn the dough out and knead gently for about 1-2 minutes until smooth.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and allow it to rest for 30 minutes to improve the texture.
Cooking
- Once rested, divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions and shape each piece into a flat disc, roughly ¼ inch thick.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil. Place one naan at a time in the skillet, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and slightly puffed.
- Enjoy your Healthy Gluten Free Naan Bread warm from the skillet, perfect for dipping or as a side.
Notes
Avoid overworking the dough; use warm water to activate the baking powder, and experiment with flavors. Watch the heat during cooking for the best results. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
