Combine 50 g of warm water, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, and 5 g of instant yeast in a bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.

In a large bowl, combine 300 g of white spelt flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Add the bubbly yeast mixture to the flour mixture.

Add 50 g of soy milk and a splash of olive oil to the mixture.

Bring the dough together with your hands, adding more water if needed, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is moist but not sticky.

Grease a bowl with oil and place the dough inside to rise for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, divide the dough into 6 pieces.

On a surface dusted with rice flour, flatten each piece and roll it out into a round shape using a rolling pin or by hand.

Brush one side of the rolled naan with olive oil and place it in a preheated cast iron pan.

Cook until bubbly, then brush the other side with olive oil and flip to cook until golden brown.

Cover the cooked naan with a cloth to keep it soft while cooking the remaining pieces.
