Naan bread vegan
Fluffy, soft and so delicious tastes the Indian flatbread from the pan. Simple and with few ingredients you can make the naan bread yourself according to this vegan recipe, which tastes just as delicious as in the Indian restaurant. It is ideal as a side dish with a soup, with a warm curry or dal and as a snack with a dip, with herb or garlic butter in between.
Servings 6 Naan breads
Equipment
- coated pan
Ingredients
- 140 ml vegetable milk (lukewarm)
- 60 g natural vegetable yogurt (e.g. soy yogurt)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 g dry yeast
- approx. 300 g flour
for coating
- olive oil
Instructions
- Mix lukewarm vegetable milk, sugar and dry yeast in a mixing bowl and let it rest covered in a warm place for 10 minutes.
- Add vegetable natural yogurt, olive oil and salt and mix.
- Add flour in batches and knead it into a soft dough. The dough should be soft, not dry, but not too sticky. The amount of flour given may vary. (Note the detailed tips and tricks for this here at the top of the post.) Then knead the dough for about 7 minutes, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each piece out to about 0.3 cm thick to form an oval or round patty.
- Fry the patties in a dry, coated pan, first on one side, then on the other, until brown spots appear on them.
- Brush the hot patties with olive oil immediately after frying.
Notes
- Instead of plant milk, you can use water.
- It is important that vegetable milk (or water) for the yeast dough is lukewarm.
- (Vegan) natural yogurt for the dough must be at room temperature.
- Fresh yeast can also be used instead of dry yeast. For the recipe then 25 g of it are needed.
- To give the dough the right consistency, add flour little by little. It should be soft and not too firm or dry.
- It is important to knead the yeast dough for about 7 minutes and let it rise quietly in a warm place.
- To keep the naan bread warm and soft until serving, cover it with a towel immediately after frying.
