Description
This Vegan Gluten Free Naan is soft, chewy, and infused with garlic-herb flavor. Perfect as a side or wrap, it’s made without gluten, dairy, or eggs. A quick, pan-cooked bread option ready in 30 minutes. Ideal for vegan and gluten-free meal prep, dinners, or pairing with curries.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup plain vegan yogurt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons vegan butter (optional, for brushing)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
2. Add vegan yogurt and olive oil to the dry mixture. Stir with a spatula until a soft dough forms. Add a splash of water if needed.
3. Divide dough into 6 to 8 equal portions. Roll each into a ball, then flatten using a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface.
4. Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Place one naan on the skillet and cook 2–3 minutes on each side until bubbles form and both sides are golden brown.
5. While warm, brush each naan with a mix of melted vegan butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Serve immediately or store for later use.
Notes
For extra fluffiness, let the dough rest for 10 minutes before dividing.
Use a very hot skillet to get classic charred spots.
Brushing with garlic butter while the naan is hot maximizes flavor absorption.
