Homemade Gluten-Free Naan Bread
- 1 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 cups Hot Tap Water
- 1 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
- 1 cup White Rice Flour
- 1/2 cups Tapioca Starch
- 1/2 cups Potato Starch
- 3 teaspoons Xanthan Gum
- 2 teaspoons Unflavored Gelatin Powder
- 2 cups Wheat Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder, Divided
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda, Divided
- 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt, Divided
- 3/4 cups Milk Of Choice (I Used Almond Milk), Divided
- 1 pinch Salt (optional)
- 1 pinch Garlic Powder (optional)
- This recipe is written to make half of the batch gluten-free and half of the batch with wheat flour.
- You can easily adjust quantities to make more or less or each.
- 1.
- Dissolve the sugar in the hot tap water.
- Add the yeast, and let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes.
- It will foam.
- 2.
- While the yeast mixture is sitting, make the flour mixtures.
- In one bowl, combine white rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch, xanthan gum, and gelatin powder.
- This is the gluten-free bowl.
- (Keep it covered to avoid cross contamination.)
- In the second bowl, preferably on a different table/countertop area than the gluten-free bowl, measure out the wheat flour.
- If making the entire batch gluten-free, then simply prepare another bowl of gluten-free dough.
- 3.
- Add half of the baking powder and baking soda to each bowl, adding to the gluten-free bowl first.
- Once again, be wary of cross contamination.
- 4.
- Add half of the yogurt to each bowl, and half of the milk (just measure out 3/4 cup and then eyeball halfthats what Ive always done and its turned out fine each time), again, adding each to the gluten-free bowl first.
- 5.
- By now, the yeast mixture should be foamy.
- Eyeballing it, add half of the mixture to each bowl, starting with the gluten-free bowl.
- 6.
- Using separate spoons, stir the contents of each bowl thoroughly.
- 7.
- Cover each bowl with a towel and let rise, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
- 8.
- After the dough has risen, divide the gluten-free dough into 4 pieces.
- Flatten each piece into an oblong shape.
- If the dough is sticky, spray your hands and working area with a bit of cooking spray.
- Spray each uncooked piece of bread with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt and/or garlic powder, if desired.
- 9.
- Heat a nonstick skillet (that has a fitting lid) to medium high heat (I set my stove top to 6 on a 110 dial).
- When the skillet is warm, place a piece of uncooked bread in the skillet and cover immediately.
- Check the bottom of the bread after a minute or two, and flip when the bottom has blackened in a few spots.
- Let cook for another minute or two on the other side, with the lid on the pan.
- Repeat the cooking process with the remaining gluten-free bread pieces.
- 10.
- When the gluten-free bread has cooked, form the wheat dough into 4 oblong shapes and repeat the exact same cooking process.
