Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 120 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 100 grams Vegan cheese shreds
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Vegan butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, salt, and baking powder.

Step 2

Warm the almond milk slightly and add the olive oil. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients, kneading to form a soft dough.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 45 minutes in a warm place, or until doubled in size.

Step 4

Once risen, divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each piece into a ball.

Step 5

Flatten each ball into a small disc with your hands, pressing around the edges to form a small well in the center.

Step 6

Mix the vegan cheese shreds with the garlic powder and chopped fresh cilantro. Place a tablespoon of the cheese mixture in the center of each disc.

Step 7

Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching it together to seal, and gently flatten it again with your hands or a rolling pin.

Step 8

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush one side of the naan with a bit of vegan butter and place it butter-side down in the skillet.

Step 9

Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly puffy.

Step 10

Remove from the skillet and brush with a bit more vegan butter while still warm. Repeat the process with the remaining dough.

Step 11

Serve the vegan cheese naans warm with your favorite curry or as a standalone snack.
