Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 cup plant-based yogurt
- 0.5 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon nigella seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add plant-based yogurt and warm water to the dry ingredients. Mix well with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to come together.
Dust a clean surface with some flour and transfer the dough onto it. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough back into the bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest for about 20 minutes.
After resting, divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
On a floured surface, roll each ball into a thin oval or circle, about 1/8 inch thick.
Mix olive oil and minced garlic in a small bowl. Brush both sides of each rolled naan with the garlic oil mixture.
Heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Place the rolled naan dough on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and the bottom is golden brown.
Flip the naan and cook on the other side for an additional 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Once cooked, remove from heat and immediately sprinkle with chopped cilantro and nigella seeds if using.
Cut the naans into desired dipper-sized pieces and serve warm.
