TO MAKE THIS GLUTEN-FREE NAAN, YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING INGREDIENTS:
- A gluten-free all-purpose flour
- Almond flour or a preferred gluten-free flour
- Baking Soda
- Psyllium husk, additional flax or other gum alternative
- Salt
- Sugar or an alternative sweetener
- Flaxseed meal or an egg
- Yogurt or yogurt alternative
- Water
- Garlic
I’ve tested this naan in a variety of ways in order to make it higher protein, to exclude xantham gum, and to make it vegan. If you don’t mind xantham gum, you can substitute 1 tsp xantham gum in place of the psyllium. I prefer not to use any gums in gluten-free baking because the health benefits are controversial. Substituting flaxseed or vegan yogurt simply provides a slightly hearty taste, but is equally delicious. The addition of flaxseed also adds protein, among other health benefits. Avoiding dairy is also known to reduce inflammation. I generally use almond flour as my additional flour, but there are a variety of gluten free flours to choose from, including simply whatever is in your pantry.
