In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back into the bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Add the chili flakes, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro to the dough, and knead lightly to incorporate the ingredients throughout.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each portion into a ball and cover with a cloth. Let them rest for another 10 minutes.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly oil it if needed to prevent sticking.
On a floured surface, roll each dough ball into an oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the rolled dough onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until it puffs up and dark brown spots appear.
Once cooked, remove from the skillet. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Serve the Dairy-Free Chili Garlic Naan warm as a side dish or enjoy with your favorite dips.
