Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Cooked and mashed potatoes
• 0.5 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Yeast
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder if using.

Step 3

Add the mashed potatoes, olive oil, and the frothy yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until the dough starts to come together.

Step 4

Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough for about 6-8 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.

Step 5

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and divide it into 8 equal-sized balls.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Roll each ball of dough into an oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick, using a rolling pin.

Step 9

Place the rolled dough on the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes until golden brown spots appear.

Step 10

Remove from the skillet and brush with a little olive oil if desired. Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top if using.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining balls of dough.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your dairy-free potato naan!
