Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 cup gluten-free chickpea flour
  • 1/2 cup water Add more if dough is too dry.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Can substitute with coconut oil or melted ghee.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • to taste optional: herbs or spices (like garlic powder or dried herbs)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free chickpea flour, salt, and baking powder. Add optional herbs or spices if desired.
  2. Slowly add 1/2 cup of water and the olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until you have a smooth, pliable dough, adding more chickpea flour if it's too sticky.
  3. Dust your countertop lightly with chickpea flour. Take a portion of the dough, knead it into a ball, and flatten it to form a round flatbread about 1/4 inch thick.
Cooking
  1. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the naan in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes.
  2. Continue cooking the remaining naan, adding more oil to the skillet as necessary, and keep them warm in a covered dish.
Serving
  1. Serve your Gluten Free Chickpea Flour Naan warm, with your favorite dishes or smeared with butter or ghee.
