Description
This recipe provides instructions for making gluten-free naan dough at home. It uses a blend of gluten-free flours to achieve a soft and pliable dough, suitable for those avoiding gluten.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm water (105-115°F)
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
- 1/2 cup tapioca flour
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for cooking
- 1/4 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt (dairy-free option: unsweetened coconut yogurt)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let sit for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, tapioca flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add olive oil and yogurt to the yeast mixture, stirring well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (using gluten-free flour) and knead gently for 2-3 minutes until smooth. The dough will be softer than traditional naan dough.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Divide the dough into 6-8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into an oval or round shape about 1/4 inch thick.
- Heat a cast iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Brush a little olive oil on the pan.
- Cook each naan for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed up. Brush with melted butter or garlic butter after cooking, if desired.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, use unsweetened coconut yogurt.
- The dough will be softer than traditional naan dough.
- You can brush the cooked naan with melted butter or garlic butter.
