Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, mix together almond milk, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and lemon juice.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into the center. Mix gently with a spoon or your hands until a dough begins to form.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.

Step 5

Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for about 15 minutes.

Step 6

In a small mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, red chili flakes, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 7

After the dough has rested, divide it into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.

Step 8

Using a rolling pin, roll each dough ball into an oval or traditional naan shape, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 9

Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.

Step 10

Brush one side of the naan with the garlic chili oil mixture and place it oil-side down onto the hot skillet.

Step 11

Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles start to form on the surface. Brush the top with more garlic chili oil before flipping.

Step 12

Cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and evenly cooked.

Step 13

Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Keep the cooked naan wrapped in a clean towel to keep warm.

Step 14

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
