Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Plain yogurt (gluten-free)
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Melted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic (optional, minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, chopped)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the plain yogurt and milk to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Knead the dough gently on a floured surface for about 2-3 minutes until smooth. Form into a ball and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rest for 10 minutes to relax the gluten-free flour.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, roll each portion into an oval or round shape about 1/4 inch thick. If the dough sticks, dust it lightly with flour.
Heat a non-stick skillet or a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
Place one rolled naan onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
Flip the naan and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown patches appear.
Use a spatula to press the naan lightly, helping it puff up during cooking.
Brush the hot naan with melted butter on one side as soon as it comes off the skillet.
Optional: Sprinkle minced garlic and chopped cilantro over the buttered naan for added flavor.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough portions.
Serve the gluten-free butter naan warm with your favorite curry or dish.
