Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 5 cups gluten-free flour use your favorite blend for best results
- 5 teaspoons xanthan gum omit if your flour blend already contains it
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 9 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 0.67 cup plain yogurt at room temperature
- 6 tablespoons melted butter or ghee, cooled
- 2 large eggs beaten, at room temperature
- 2 large egg whites at room temperature

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, salt, cream of tartar, and sugar in a stand mixer bowl. Whisk together thoroughly. Add instant yeast and whisk again.
- Add yogurt, melted butter, beaten eggs, egg whites, and warm water to the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined.
- Increase mixer speed to medium and mix for 3 minutes. The dough should be fluffy and will not naturally form a ball.
- Gently shape the dough into a ball. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and allow to rise in a warm area for 45 minutes until doubled.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface, divide into 16 pieces, and roll each to 3x5 inches. Ensure dough is not sticky.
- Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each naan piece until it bubbles, flip, and cook until golden brown.
- Keep cooked naan warm covered with a towel and repeat with remaining pieces. Serve warm.
Notes
For best results, use a high-quality gluten-free flour blend. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge.
