How to make Gluten Free Naan Bread Recipe

Ready to roll? Here’s your step-by-step guide to creating this show-stopping naan bread that’ll impress friends and family alike!

Ingredients for Gluten Free Naan Bread Recipe (vegan, dairy free, low FODMAP):

260 g yoghurt (I use plain coconut yoghurt, but any plain yoghurt would work)
250 g gluten free self raising flour
1/4 tsp xanthan gum (optional)
1/2 tsp gluten free baking powder (optional)
1/2 tsp salt
Garlic infused oil
Fresh coriander (chopped)
Additional salt to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

Add all your ingredients into a bowl and mix together. I initially just do this with a spatula, and then as it starts to come together, I use my hands to ensure it’s all pushed into a big ball.
Knead the dough briefly so it’s smooth and combined (you might need a little flour if it’s a bit sticky, but it shouldn’t be!).
Cut the dough into 5 pieces.
On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out your dough. I like to roll mine to just over 0.5cm thick in a nice naan shape!
Heat up a frying pan – no oil needed!
Carefully lift up your rolled dough and place it in the heated frying pan (I find a cake lifter is super handy for this!). Allow to cook on one side for a few minutes; you should start to see some puffing up!
Once some golden browning has occurred, flip the naan and cook for slightly less time on the other side.
Repeat steps 4-7 with your other pieces of dough. If there’s any flour in your frying pan that might have burnt in the heat, just wipe out the pan in between each naan!
To make it a garlic naan, simply drizzle a bit of that fabulous garlic-infused oil on top while it’s still hot and sprinkle with fresh coriander!

What to Serve With Gluten Free Naan Bread Recipe

Now, let’s talk about the delicious possibilities! This naan bread is a perfect companion for your favorite dishes.

Storage and Make-Ahead Tips of Gluten Free Naan Bread Recipe

If you have leftovers (which I sincerely hope you do!), simply store your naan bread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them! Just pop them in a freezer-safe bag, and they’ll be ready whenever you need a quick and tasty treat! When you’re ready to enjoy, just reheat in a frying pan or toaster. So easy!

Expert Tips for the Perfect Gluten Free Naan Bread Recipe

Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for the best results!
Don’t be afraid to experiment with the thickness! Thicker naans will be chewier, while thinner ones will be more crisp, it’s all about what you prefer!
For an extra touch of flavor, feel free to add dried herbs or spices to your dough! Ooh la la!

Recipe Variations and Substitutions

If you’re feeling adventurous, you could try adding some finely chopped spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for a burst of flavor! And if you’re not into garlic oil, feel free to skip it or swap in some olive oil infused with your favorite herbs. Tailor it to your taste, sweet friend!
