Vegan Naan

Ingredients:

One packet of instant yeast (or approximately one tblsp of yeast)
3/4 cup of warm water (not too warm or it may kill the yeast)
1 teaspoon of sugar
2 cups of plain flour
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 cup of tinned coconut milk (full fat)
2 tblsp Olive oil

Instructions:

1) Add the yeast, sugar and warm water to a bowl. Mix and let it sit for a few minutes until you see bubbles forming on top of mixture.
2) Add the flour, salt, baking soda, tinned coconut milk and olive oil to the yeast mixture and work together with a spoon. Once the dough begins to form place it on a floured surface and knead for a few minutes. If the dough is too sticky slowly add a little flour until the dough is smooth and soft.
3) Place the dough in a bowl and cover with a tea towel and let it rest for approximately 30 minutes.
4) Split the dough into approximately 6/8 equal sized balls and heat olive oil in a non-stick pan.
5) Roll each dough ball with a rolling pin until it is about 1/4 inch thick and an oval shape.
6) Add one piece of dough to the frying pan when the oil is hot and cook until large bubbles form on the top of the dough and the bottom of the dough appears cooked and golden. Flip the dough and cook for 1-2 minutes on the bubbled side until golden before removing from pan. Repeat this for each piece of dough.
9) Enjoy the naan plain with a curry or dip of your choice or brush with melted vegan butter and add minced garlic, herbs or chillies.

Serving options:

Melt vegan butter and add minced garlic and/or chopped parsley and/or chopped chilli peppers- drizzle over each naan and….Enjoy!
