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.
