Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Warm water
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons Vegan butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.

Step 2

Create a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water, almond milk, and melted vegan butter.

Step 3

Mix until the dough starts to come together. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a touch of water.

Step 4

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Lightly coat a bowl with olive oil, place the dough in the bowl, and cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal-sized balls.

Step 7

On a floured surface, roll out each ball into an oval shape about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each naan piece on the skillet for about 2-3 minutes, or until the top starts to bubble.

Step 9

Flip the naan and cook the other side for another 2 minutes until golden spots form.

Step 10

If using garlic, after flipping, brush each naan with a bit of melted vegan butter and sprinkle with minced garlic, cooking until fragrant.

Step 11

Remove from heat and immediately sprinkle with fresh cilantro, if using.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy as a side with your favorite vegan curry or dish.
