Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and mash them until smooth. Let them cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Add the mashed potatoes, flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until it forms a dough.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 6 equal parts. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten and roll out to form an oval or round shape about 1/4 inch thick.
Cook each naan in the preheated skillet for 1-2 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown spots appear.
In a small saucepan, melt the vegan butter and mix with garlic powder and chopped cilantro.
Brush the cooked naan with the vegan butter mixture before serving.
Serve warm as a side or enjoy as is!
