Naan

1/2 teaspoon baking powder should read as baking soda instead.

This recipe came out quite well, I made mine with sliced garlic on top and am considering making my next batch whole wheat.

Hi baypuppy,

PLEASE tell me where you find UNSWEETENED plain vegan yogurt? I am not a fan of the sweetened kind at all, and generally use vegan sourcream as a yogurt substitute, which can get kinda pricey. Thanks much... Nima

wholesoy brand makes an unflavored soy-gourt. i picked it up at my local coop.

alternatively, you could a) make your own cultured soy (google, there are lots of recipes online) or just replace it with some soymilk. i've done that before and it worked, just cut back on liquids.

Actually, the only soy yogurt brand I've found that had a plain version without sweeteners is Wildwood (it's called "plainly plain"). It actually tastes like regular plain yogurt (well, plus the soy taste, but that's ok). Every other "plain" soy yogurt has sugar and/or vanilla flavoring added. Give Wildwood a shot, they have other good products too, I found.

Wow, these were fantastic. I only made half the batch and it was a last-minute decision so I didn't leave them to rise for long but they still turned out so soft and fluffy and so much nicer thanI remember shop-bought naan tasting. Thanks for the great recipe!

I made these the first time in the oven following the exact recipe. They were okay. Maybe I rollen them too thin? They came out crunchier than I'd like.

The second batch, I increased the yogurt to an entire small container and cooked on my George Foreman grill - placed on open, preheated GF grill, left to brown lightly on bottom, then flipped and closed lid to finish cooking. Mmmmmm.

Very good.
Made mine with 1/2 WW and 1/2 Spelt flours.
The dough was a bit wet, but I used Olive Oil rather than solids, so I should have reduced the Rice Milk, and did not.
The fluffed up, and were very tasty. Note like a good Indian restaurants, but a welcome add on to an at home cooked Indian meal.

        I was pleasantly suprised at how great these came out! I was concerned because after leaving the dough out for two hours, I could not make them at that time and had to put the dough in the fridge overnight. Then I made them from the cold dough straight out of the fridge and they still came out great! I made a dinner out of this naan, Craig's Dhal and the Polynesian Salad with Curry dressing. It was the best dinner I've had in quite some time!

What happens if I don't have poppy seeds?

They will taste fine without them, but you could sub sesame seeds instead.

Can anything be used in place of the soy yogart? I don't have any and won't be going anywhere anytime soon and really want to try this recipe. Thanks.

You can add 1 Tbs of apple cider vinegar to a cup of soy milk,  (preferable unsweetened), stir, and let it sit for 5 min or so.  It's more like buttermilk than yogurt in texture, but it should work.

I made these for a group of friends last night to go with some Sweet Potato Dahl (posted on this site).  They turned out great!  I got 10 mini naan from this recipe.  Did everyone else ROLL their dough into ovals?  I didn't roll mine, so they turned out quite lumpy and not very flat like the naan pictures posted.
