Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Combine flaxseed meal and 2 tbsp water in a small bowl and set aside. Skip this step if using an egg.

  2. Meanwhile, in another medium bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients.

  3. Add the yogurt and oil to the flaxseed mixture (or egg) and stir to combine.

  4. Add the yogurt mixture to the dry ingredients, kneading the dough as you go. Then add the warm water, bit by bit, as needed, making sure it is well absorbed before adding more. Depending on how watery your yogurt is or if you used an egg, you may not need water at all.

  5. Knead for a couple of minutes until the dough is well combined and soft. Cover and set aside for 15 minutes.

  6. Divide the dough into 6 balls. You can do this by rolling the dough into a log shape and then slicing it into 6 pieces. Or you can take pieces of dough and roll them into balls. You can either keep these round or form into a teardrop shape by rolling one end of the dough between your hands.

  7. To roll out the naan, use a combination of rolling out the dough with a rolling pin and gently pressing it with your hands. It should be around 5-6 inches long and 1/4 inch thick. Use a little rice flour or other gluten-free if the dough is sticky. Press in the edges gently to make them smoother.

  8. Heat a tava, griddle or non-stick (preferably cast iron) pan over high heat. Have butter/ghee and rice flour or other gluten-free flour nearby.

  9. Once you've rolled out the naan, sprinkle them with nigella seeds (kalonji) and lightly press the seeds so that they stick to the dough. (You can also do this after placing the naan is on the skillet.)

Chef's Notes

NotesNote: Most store-bought gluten-free flour blends will work with this recipe.

A reviewer recently shared a quick recipe for a homemade gluten-free flour blend. I tested and found that it works beautifully with this recipe. To make your own, try this blend: 1/2 cup chickpea flour, 1/4 cup potato starch, and 1/4 cup brown rice flour (she used light buckwheat).

See post for more detail on what GF flour to use.

These did not work for me at all! They came out dry and nothing like a naan. If I were to try it again I’d use all gf flour. It’s the almond meal that caused the problems. I was so excited to find this but they don’t come out well. 

Lauren ★ 5.0/5

Just made this - so easy and tasted excellent!!! I used the egg option. It was a huge hit with all of my kids. Our celiac friendly home has been missing a good naan since diagnosis and this was perfect with our dinner tonight!

Kate ★ 5.0/5

Tasty...better than the store bought! I added cumin seeds to dry mix for a bit of spice.

Rebecca ★ 5.0/5

Ok, I was sceptical because I've had SO many disasters with GF flatbreads, but this was amazing! Definitely doing this one again (and again). My son tried naan for the first time tonight . Thank you!

i just made this for dinner. It was really good, but i made messed up when i made the first one. The first one I made I did not add water as i thought the yogurt made it the correct consistency, we tried and it was very dense and not much mositure, so I remade the dough for the rest by adding a little bit of water and a small pinch of flour and the consitency was a lot better. Thank you for this recipe. I have not been able to have naan since I was dagnosed with celiacs so this is great.

I made this recipe last night with cassava flour and Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Gluten Free Flour Blend. It was great! My husband I fought over the last two pieces this morning. I was pleasantly surprised by how much they actually tasted like bread. I will be making these again soon - maybe even tonight! :)

The best GF naan I’ve made yet.  I used cassava flour instead of almond flour. Out of baking soda so substituted extra baking powder. Let sit for about 1.5 hours before cooking.  Brushed with garlic oil. 

Did you make this recipe?

Thanks for rating!
