Ingredients
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1.5 teaspoons yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar or maple or bread flour if using stevia. Add equivalent stevia later with dry ingredients
- 1/2 cup bread flour
- 1/4 cup wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon onion flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 Tablespoons mashed avocado about half a regular sized Avocado
Add later:
- 1/4 cup chopped basil
- 1 Tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 green chili finely chopped optional
- Seeds for topping: Sesame, Til, Nigella(Kalonji) or Carom(Ajwain)
Variations:
- Add other chopped up greens spinach, baby kale or herbs(cilantro).
- Add a Tablespoon or evoo or vegan butter.
Instructions
- In a bowl, add warm water, yeast and sugar and mix well.
- Let sit 10 minutes or until frothy.
- Add all the dry ingredients and avocado and mix.
- Knead into a soft dough(3-4 minutes).
- Spray water on top, cover with towel and let sit for 1.5 hours or until doubled. Use a bowl with enough space for the dough to double without touching the towel on top.
- Add chopped basil, chopped green chili, nutritional yeast and 1-2 Tablespoons wheat flour and knead for a minute to combine well.
- Divide dough into 2 parts (for 2 large 10 inch Naans or 3 parts for smaller) and roll into oval shape or shape with your hands by pressing it outwards. Use flour if needed. The hand shaped Naans puff up better.
- Use any large pan/skillet which can withstand high heat. Heat it on medium high heat until hot.
- Pat some nigella, sesame or carom seeds on top and spritz the bottom with a little water.
- Place the naan with bottom on the pan.
- Cover and let cook on medium high till it starts to puff.
- Flip after 1-1.5 minutes, and cook for half a minute( for pita style)
- If you like a charred Naan, then instead of flipping to cook the other side, hold the uncooked side of Naan over the flame with tongs for a few seconds to cook and char some spots.
- Serve hot, topped with vegan butter or olive oil with any Indian curry, Daal lentil stews, vegetable Subzis, salad and pickle.
Notes
- For baking the Naan see the method in my original post here.
