The perfect fluffy naan that pairs beautifully with curries, soups, dips — or even used as a wrap! Super simple and 100% plant-based.

IngredientsWet:

• 1 cup warm water (not hot)

• 1 tsp active dry yeast

• 2⅓ cups flour

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp onion powder

• ½ tsp ground coriander

• ½ tsp cumin

• Pinch of extra salt

1. In a large mixing bowl, add warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir and let sit for 10 minutes until frothy.

2. While it proofs, mix all the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.

3. Once yeast is ready, add oil and yogurt to the bowl and mix.

4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix using a stand mixer with a dough hook for 2–3 minutes until a soft dough forms.

8. Roll out one ball at a time (about ¼ inch thick).

9. Cook each naan until bubbles form and underside is golden, then flip and cook 1–2 more minutes.
