Categories     Bread

Yield 8 breads

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 c. gluten free flour
1 egg
1 t. xantham gum
1 t. salt
1 t. baking soda
1 ½ c. PLAIN yogurt
½ t. white or apple cider vinegar
Salt (as needed)
2-3 t. diced garlic

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients well until dough is formed. Let site for ½ - 2 hours. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add salt and a little garlic to pan. Roll a small amount of dough into a ball, then flatten into a disk. Set in pan atop salt and garlic. Cook 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown in color.

Tips:

  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help ensure the dough comes together smoothly.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more almond flour. If it's too dry, add a little more water.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the naan tough.
  • Cook the naan over medium-high heat. This will help create a nice char on the outside while keeping the inside soft and fluffy.
  • Serve the naan immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, garlic, cilantro, and yogurt.

Conclusion:

Gluten-free naan is a delicious and easy-to-make flatbread that can be enjoyed by people with and without gluten sensitivities. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of soft, fluffy naan that's perfect for any occasion.
