Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 0.5 cup warm water
- 0.5 cup unsweetened coconut yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in the warm water. Add the active dry yeast, stir gently, and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center.
Add the coconut yogurt, the yeast mixture, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the well of the flour mixture.
Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a dough starts to form. Knead the dough in the bowl until it is smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. Add a bit more flour if the dough is too sticky.
Form the dough into a ball and cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel. Leave it in a warm place to rise for about 45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, divide it into 6 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into an oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and brush lightly with olive oil.
Cook each naan for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until both sides are golden brown with characteristic bubbles.
Remove the naan from the skillet and cover with a towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining naans.
Serve warm as a side dish or as a base for sandwiches and wraps.
