Homemade Vegan Naan Bread
This Vegan Naan Bread is soft and chewy, with a slightly charred exterior, and a warm, comforting flavor. It’s a great addition to any meal and pairs beautifully with a variety of dips and dishes.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup almond milk or other plant-based milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup water (as needed)
- Optional: minced garlic, fresh herbs, or spices for flavor
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the almond milk and olive oil. Gradually mix in the flour until a dough forms. Add water as needed to achieve a soft dough.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Divide and Shape: Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into small balls. Roll each ball into an oval or circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cook the Naan: Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the rolled naan onto the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until bubbles form and the bread is lightly charred. Optionally, brush with melted vegan butter or garlic-infused oil.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy your vegan naan warm, with your favorite dips or alongside your meals!
