Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup warm water or warm vegan milk
  • 2 tsp active yeast
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • 4 Tbsp plain coconut yogurt
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • fresh greens vegan butter or roasted seeds for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, add 1 cup of warm water or milk, yeast, and sugar. Stir and set aside, in a warm place and cover the bowl with a kitchen towel. It should be foamy in about 10 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add flour, salt, and baking powder, cumin and combine.
  • After the foam starts to appear, add the vegan yogurt and oil and mix well. Pour this into the dry ingredients and mix.
  • Flour your work surface and add just enough to gently knead the dough and form a ball.
  • Coat a bowl with a bit of oil and place the dough in. Rub the ball with a bit more oil and turn to coat. Set the bowl in a warm place, cover with a towel and let it sit for 2 to 4 hours to rise.
  • Press down the dough then roll into small, egg-size pieces and place on a baking sheet. Cover them with a towel and allow them to rise again until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
  • Heat a heavy skillet over a high heat
  • Flatten the dough between your palms, then roll into a circle shape. Sprinkle some chopped greens and cumin seeds on the work surface, before rolling, so it will stick to one side of the naan.
  • Carefully flip over and pat the dough with a bit of water so it doesn’t stick to the pan.
  • Cook for less than 2 minutes or until the edges of the dough look dry and it starts to bubble. Then flip the dough with a spatula and cook on the other side.
  • Repeat until all the naan dough is cooked.
  • Finally, brush them with melted vegan butter or olive oil and sprinkle with more greens.
