Prep Time30 minutes mins

Cook Time10 minutes mins

Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 1 t Active Dry Yeast
• 3/4 Cup Warm water
• 1 t Sugar
• 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
• 1 t Baking Powder
• 1 t Salt
• 3 T Non Dairy Yogurt
• 2 T Olive Oil

Instructions

• In a large bowl, add the yeast, sugar and warm water. The warm needs to be warm, but not hot. Hot water will kill the yeast.
• Let this sit until the surface starts to bubble – about 5 minutes.
• Add the remaining ingredients and mix well with a wooded spoon.
• Sprinkle some flour on a flat surface and knead the dough for a couple of minutes or until it comes together in a nice, soft ball. If it seems too sticky (wet) you can add a little more flour as you are kneading the ball.
• Place the dough ball back in the bowl, cover with a towel and let sit for 30 minutes. You can shorten that time as needed – you just want the dough to rest and start to rise.
• Remove the dough ball and punch it down. Sprinkle some additional flour on a flat surface. Cut the dough into 8 to 10 equal size pieces.
• I use a cast iron fry pan, but any heavy bottom pan will work. Heat your pan without oil. The naan cooks better at high heat.
• Roll out your dough pieces. You want them pretty thin, about 1/4 of an inch thick at most. Place the rolled out pieces in your fry pan. Heat the 1st side until the dough starts to bubble OR the dough starts to brown. Flip over and do the same to the other side. I like the bubbles to turn a dark, golden brown. Continue until all the pieces have been cooked.
• To keep warm, you are wrap the naan in a moist towel until you are ready to serve.
• NOTE – I like to sprinkle a little garlic salt on the dough right when I put it in the pan.
• Serve and ENJOY!
