3

In a separate bowl, mix 3 tablespoons psyllium husk with 1 1/2 cups warm water and let it sit until it turns into a gel.

4

Add the psyllium husk gel to the flour mixture and mix gently.

5

Use your hands to knead the dough, squishing it through your fingers.

6

Add 2 tablespoons of coconut milk and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the dough and mix until it forms a cohesive dough.

7

Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth.

8

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and cover with a kitchen towel to prevent drying out.

Roll each piece of dough into a round shape using extra buckwheat flour for dusting.

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat, ensuring it is not too hot or too cold.

Remove the naan from the skillet and brush with butter or ghee if desired.

Cover the cooked naan with a kitchen towel to keep warm while cooking the remaining pieces.
