Time 1h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

½ cup lukewarm water
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
4 ½ cups bread flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
¾ cup plain non-dairy yogurt
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

Mix water and sugar in a bowl; whisk until dissolved. Sprinkle yeast over water; let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
Combine flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a separate bowl. Add 4 cups flour mixture, coconut oil, and yogurt to yeast mixture; mix until well combined. Add remaining flour mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough comes together. Knead until dough is soft and elastic, 3 to 4 minutes. Place dough in a large, lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Heat a pizza stone.
Divide dough into 8 pieces on a floured surface. Roll dough slightly and place over parchment paper. Cover with a towel and let rise for 20 minutes. Roll into 8-inch ovals. Transfer to the preheated pizza stone; sprinkle with water and brush with canola oil.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden and puffy, 2 to 3 minutes.

BEST HEALTHY VEGAN INDIAN NAAN (OR GARLIC NAAN) BREAD!

Best Healthy Vegan Indian Naan (Or Garlic Naan) Bread! image

Most healthier naan recipes didn't taste as good to us as the recipes that included oil and dairy. So, we came up with this yummy and healthier alternative that amazingly still has no added oil or dairy! Like most naan recipes it is time consuming, but we love Indian food and can't seem to eat it without the naan. Add the garlic to turn the plain naan into garlic naan (our favorite). We use our recipe Recipe #247817 for the vegan sour cream, but you can also find it in grocery or health food stores.

Time 2h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 cup plain soymilk
1 cup vegan sour cream
1/4 cup garlic, finely chopped (optional)

Steps:

Mix together flour, baking powder,salt, cumin and corriander in a lerge mixing bowl.
Stir in the soy milk and vegan sour cream, then knead it in the bowl till it holds together well, adding more flour if necessary.
Place on a floured surface and continue kneading for about 5 to 10 minutes till the dough feels smooth and elastic.
Form the dough into a ball and put it in a non-stick bowl, covered with a towel, to rest for an hour or longer.
Take the dough out and cut it into 12 equal pieces.
Form each into a ball and press the balls flat into round discs.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan or griddle on medium heat.
Take 1 piece of dough at a time and roll it out on a floured surface till it is about 8-10 inches across and less than 1/4 inch thick.
Lay it on the hot griddle and cook it over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side or until it puffs up and some blackish-brown spots apear.
Serve hot.
To reheat, wrap them in aluminum foil, in packets of 5 or 6 breads (or less) and bake (in pre-heated oven) at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

Tips:

Use a digital kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients for the most accurate results.
If you don't have a digital kitchen scale, use measuring cups that are specifically designed for dry ingredients.
Don't overwork the dough, as this will make the naan tough.
If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
If the dough is too dry, add a little more water.
Let the dough rise in a warm place for at least an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible before baking the naan.
Brush the naan with melted butter or ghee before serving.

Conclusion:

These vegan naan recipes are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional naan bread. They are perfect for serving with your favorite Indian dishes, or simply as a snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make these naan recipes at home.
