Ingredients
For the vegan naan:
- 1/2 cup warm water ideally between 105˚F - 110˚F
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 0.25-ounce package active dry yeast
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup almond milk or alternative milk of choice
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for frying
For topping:
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- Coarse salt optional, for garnish
- Fresh parsley or cilantro optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Make the dough. Gently stir the water, sugar and yeast together in a small bowl or directly in a liquid measuring cup. Allow it to activate until it is foamy on top.In a large bowl with an electric mixer (dough hook), add activated yeast, flour, and remaining ingredients. Beat with dough hook at medium speed until a ball has formed.
- Allow the dough to rise. Remove bowl from mixer and cover with a damp towel. Let sit in a warm place for about 1 hour. Once the dough has doubled in size, divide it into eight small balls.
- Make the topping. In a small bowl, combine the garlic and oil.
- Fry the dough. Heat olive oil in a large, cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Roll each dough ball to about 1/4-inch thickness and place them one at a time in the hot pan, brushing with the garlic oil mixture.When the dough starts to bubble, flip it over, brush it with oil again, and season with salt and fresh herbs. Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
