Gluten Free Naan

Cultural Context

Naan has its roots in South Asian cuisine, traditionally made with wheat flour and cooked in a tandoor. This gluten-free version caters to those with dietary restrictions while maintaining the essence of this beloved bread. Often served with curries or grilled meats, naan is a staple at Indian meals. Today, gluten-free naan is gaining popularity worldwide, allowing more people to enjoy this delicious accompaniment.

Servings4
1 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (Bob's Red Mill 1:1 baking flour)
2 tbsp unflavored homemade yogurt
3/4 tsp quick rise yeast
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp oil

gluten-free flour

🥗Healthier: almond flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour (not gluten-free)

Almond flour adds healthy fats and protein.

yogurt

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt is thicker and richer in protein.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil offers a higher smoke point.

milk

🥗Healthier: plant-based milk

💰Cheaper: water

Plant-based milk reduces dairy intake.

1

In a mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, salt, and quick rise yeast.

2

In a separate bowl, mix yogurt and warm water until smooth.

3

Add the yogurt mixture to the flour mixture and stir until a dough forms.

4

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

5

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until visibly larger in size.

6

Preheat the oven to the highest setting and move the rack to the top position.

7

Once preheated, switch the oven to high broil and place a double layer insulated cookie sheet or pizza stone on the rack to heat up.

8

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a ball, then roll out each ball into a thick circle.

9

Place 2-3 rolled-out naan on the heated cookie sheet and bake until warm and puffy.
