Best Vegan Naan Bread

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Best Vegan Naan Bread.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious naan-making adventure, grab a bowl and mix together some lukewarm water and sugar, whisking until the sugar is fully dissolved.

2. Step 2

   Next, sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water and let it sit for about five minutes.

3. Step 3

   During this time, you’ll notice it transforming into a creamy, foamy mixture—this is a sign that your yeast is alive and ready to work its magic! In another bowl, combine the bread flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

4. Step 4

   Once mixed, add four cups of this flour blend, along with melted coconut oil and non-dairy yogurt, to your yeast mixture.

5. Step 5

   Stir everything together until it’s well combined and forms a cohesive dough.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to bring the dough to life! Gradually add the remaining flour mixture, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough starts to come together.

7. Step 7

   Knead the dough on a floured surface for about three to four minutes, until it feels soft and elastic—this is where the fun begins! Once kneaded, place your dough in a large bowl that’s been lightly oiled, turning it to coat all sides.

8. Step 8

   Cover the bowl with a towel and let it rise in a warm spot until it doubles in size, which should take around an hour.

9. Step 9

   While your dough is rising, preheat your oven to a sizzling 450°F (220°C) and pop a pizza stone inside to heat up—this will give your naan that perfect, crispy texture.

10. Step 10

    After the dough has risen beautifully, turn it out onto a floured surface and divide it into eight equal pieces.

11. Step 11

    Roll each piece slightly and place them on parchment paper, then cover them with a towel and let them rise for another 20 minutes.

12. Step 12

    Now, roll each piece into an oval shape, about eight inches long.

13. Step 13

    Carefully transfer the rolled naan to your preheated pizza stone, sprinkle a little water on top, and brush them with canola oil for that extra flavor.

14. Step 14

    Bake your naan in the oven for just 2 to 3 minutes, or until they puff up and turn a lovely golden brown.

15. Step 15

    The aroma will be irresistible, and soon you’ll have warm, homemade naan ready to enjoy!.
