Time 35m

Yield 7 naan bread, 7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup water, heated to 110 degrees F
1 tablespoon honey or 1 tablespoon agave syrup
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1/2 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup rice flour
3/4 cup brown rice flour
3/8 cup potato starch, plus more for dusting
3/8 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons guar gum or 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup cooking oil
2 large eggs, beaten (or use gluten free egg replacer or substitute)
unsalted butter, for buttering tops of naan (or Earth Balance spread)

Steps:

  • If using milk, whether cow's or rice milk, with vinegar, mix and set aside for 15 minutes until thick. If it does not reach the consistency of butter milk, use less than 1/2 cup.
  • Add warm water to a medium sized bowl; add sugar or honey; stir to dissolve; add yeast; stir; and set aside until frothy, about 5 minutes. If it does not bubble start over with fresh yeast.
  • In a large bowl, add remaining dry ingredients; whisk thoroughly.
  • Add buttermilk, beaten eggs, to yeast mixture; whisk well.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients; using a rubber spatula, stir until it reaches a soft dough the consistency of creamy mashed potatoes; allow to rest for 20 minutes.
  • Scatter 2 tablespoons potato starch to a clean, flat surface; scoop 1/3 cup at a time of dough; add to floured surface; knead with dusted hands; shape into a disk as wide as your spatula.
  • Using a wide, thin spatula, transfer to preheated cast iron skillet.
  • Using the back of your fingers or a pastry roller dusted with starch, immediately flatten and distribute dough in pan working from the center, moving outwards.
  • Fry on each side for approximately 2 1/2 minutes; coat tops of fully cooked naan with salted butter.
  • Repeat with remaining dough adding additional potato starch as needed for kneading.
  • Serve warm and store uncooked dough covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This naan bread is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

The naan bread was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some herbs or spices next time.

I had some trouble getting the naan bread to rise. I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if it was just the recipe.

The naan bread turned out a little too dry for my taste. I think I might add a little more liquid next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover almond flour. I always have some on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use it in.
