Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
• 0.5 cup warm water
• 0.5 cup unsweetened coconut yogurt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in the warm water. Add the active dry yeast, stir gently, and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center.

Step 3

Add the coconut yogurt, the yeast mixture, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the well of the flour mixture.

Step 4

Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a dough starts to form. Knead the dough in the bowl until it is smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. Add a bit more flour if the dough is too sticky.

Step 5

Form the dough into a ball and cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel. Leave it in a warm place to rise for about 45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

After the dough has risen, divide it into 6 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball.

Step 7

Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into an oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and brush lightly with olive oil.

Step 9

Cook each naan for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until both sides are golden brown with characteristic bubbles.

Step 10

Remove the naan from the skillet and cover with a towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining naans.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish or as a base for sandwiches and wraps.
