Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 cup Warm water
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegan butter, melted
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix together warm water, almond milk yogurt, and olive oil until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon or hands until the dough starts coming together.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 to 7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and divide it into 6 equal parts. Shape each portion into a ball.

Step 7

On a floured surface, roll each ball into an oval or round shape about ¼ inch thick using a rolling pin.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet or tava over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the rolled-out dough onto the skillet.

Step 9

Cook the naan until bubbles start to form on the surface, about 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 10

Flip the naan and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown spots appear.

Step 11

Remove the naan from the skillet and immediately brush it with melted vegan butter. Optionally, you can brush with minced garlic and sprinkle coriander leaves.

Step 12

Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.

Step 13

Serve warm as a side with your favorite vegan curry or stew.
