Why this recipe works

These are the best gluten free naan breads as they are incredibly versatile, they can be the classic accompaniment to your favourite curry, but they are also delicious served for a quick lunch or snack with hummus and veg sticks. You could even dip them into soup for a speedy supper!

I wanted to create this recipe as I was fed up of either paying a fortune for shop-bought vegan naan bread, or taking hours to make them following other recipes! I was eager to create a super quick and insanely easy recipe to pair with my delicious curries such as my 15 Minute Veg Curry or 10 Minute Chickpea And Spinach Curry or Thai Red Prawn Curry.

If you wondered how to make your own homemade gluten free bread then check out my recipe.

Ingredients to Make Gluten Free Naan

Gluten-free self raising flour – I was able to find this in my local larger supermarket.
Yoghurt – I use coconut yoghurt as I am dairy free.
Olive oil – I’ve used extra virgin for this recipe, but standard would also work well.

See recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

Substitutions

Yoghurt – Any plain yoghurt will work instead of coconut yoghurt. I use coconut yoghurt because I am dairy free. I also enjoy the subtle coconut flavour it gives to the gluten free naan bread. If I am serving these with my Sweet Potato Satay Curry – the subtle flavour really compliments the curry well.
Olive Oil – I have used extra virgin olive oil, but a garlic or chilli-infused olive oil would also be delicious in this recipe.
Flour – I have used gluten free self raising flour, but this recipe would also work with standard self raising flour or plain flour too.

Variations

Deluxe – I love serving these naan breads with my Slow Cooker Chickpea Curry! However, there are many different ways you could take these gluten free naan breads to the next level without making another recipe. You could use a garlic or chilli infused olive oil instead of plain olive oil to add an extra flavour. You could also add a herb such as 1/2 teaspoon of ground coriander to the dough for further flavour too. For a finishing touch, why not brush the cooked vegan breads in oil or butter and top with fresh herbs such as chopped coriander or flat leaf parsley, plus a sprinkling of sea salt!
Kid Friendly – this is a great recipe to get the kids involved in. Something to bare in mind is this recipe takes a little practice, so perfect to try with kids. Once you have made these a few times you’ll do them perfectly every time!
Spicy – this is a very mild recipe, with no spice. If you wanted to add some extra heat, you could add some chilli flakes to the dough or top with freshly chopped chillies.

Instructions to make gluten free naan

Step 1: Firstly, place all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl

Step 2: Mix together with a fork and then bring the dough together with your fingers.

Step 3: Shape into a ball. Hint: If you find the mix a little dry when rolling into a ball, simply add a little more oil.

Step 4: Divide the dough in 2 and roll out on a floured surface. No need to worry about what shape they are – just make sure the edges are smooth.

Step 5: Dry fry in a heated frying pan for a couple of minutes, until just starting to blacken.

Step 6: Finally, brush with olive oil or butter to take these vegan naan bread’s to the next level. For best results, serve immediately.

Leftovers

These best gluten free naan bread’s are best served immediately. However, you could store cooked and cooled leftovers in an air tight container for 2 days at room temperature. Re-heat by quickly dry frying them in a frying pan.

Recipe FAQs

Could I make this recipe using non gluten/dairy free ingredients?

Yes absolutely, this recipe would also work with standard greek yoghurt and standard self raising or plain flour.

What happens if I don’t have a rolling pin?

Fear not, you can either pat the dough down with your hands or use a circular shaped bottle such a wine bottle or olive oil bottle.

How can I take these gluten free naan bread’s to the next level?

There are many different ways you could take these gluten free naan breads to the next level. You could use a garlic or chilli infused olive oil instead of plain olive oil to add an extra flavour. You could also add a herb such as 1/2 teaspoon of ground coriander to the dough for further flavour too.

▢
large mixing bowl
▢
fork
▢
Rolling Pin
▢
frying pan

Ingredients

▢ 150 g gluten-free self raising flour plus extra for dusting
▢ 140 g coconut yoghurt (or other yoghurt)
▢ 1 teaspoon olive oil (or try flavoured olive oil) plus extra for drizzling
▢ sea salt
▢ chopped fresh herbs, such as coriander and flat leaf parsley (optional)

Metric – US Customary

Instructions

To a large mixing bowl add 150g flour, 140g yoghurt, 1 teaspoon olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. Mix with a fork, until it starts to clump together
Now dust your hands, worktop and rolling pin with flour
With your hands press your dough into a large ball and then divide in half and shape into 2 balls
Gently roll out each dough ball, or press with your hands, until roughly 5mm thick. Then press round any edges that have split, to give a smooth edge
Place a frying pan onto a high heat (no oil needed), wait until it's very hot before adding your naan bread
Cook on both sides, for a couple of minutes, until the bread is just starting to blacken (this adds a lovely flavour)
Finally drizzle with a little extra olive oil, sprinkle over the chopped herbs, if using, and some sea salt

Substitutions & Variations:I have included a list of these in the post above.

To Freeze:Allow to cool and freeze in a container. Allow to defrost and reheat in a pan/microwave (you may need to add a splash of water).

Tip 2: If you don’t have a rolling pin then fear not, you can either pat the dough down with your hands or use a circular shaped bottle such a wine bottle or olive oil bottle

Tip 3: The better quality yoghurt you can use really helps make the best naans.

This recipe is totally amazing. I tried making GF naans myself a while ago but with little success. I had been making do with ones I bought at the supermarket which were half decent, but they stopped stocking them recently. The only ones I’ve seen in the shops recently are the “BFree” brand ones which are unbelievably dreadful. You might as well eat cardboard.
So I decided to try making my own again and came across this wonderful recipe. So simple, so quick to make and by far the best GF naans I have ever had. They are so good that my wife who is not GF now prefers them over so bought gluten containing ones..

What can you substitute if you don’t have self-rising flour on hand. I use a GF 1 – 1 for flat breads and baking. I’ve also invested in several alternative flours for vegan recipes. I’m loving it but costs are starting to add up…

  I would just go with plain flour (they will just be a bit flatter and less “puffy” but still be great)!

This is a very popular recipe in our house (including with the dairy and gluten consumers!) – thanks so much! It’s so quick and easy and versatile – we use it with curries, as a flat bread and as a kind of garlic bread. In last night’s use as a flatbread we used the oil from a jar of sundried tomatoes in place of the olive oil for a touch more Mediterranean flavour

They were fluffy inside and I loved the taste, thank you James another favourite in our house!

I made these Naan’s for the first time a couple of weeks ago and am absolutely blown away by how good they are.
They taste, well, just like a really really good Naan!!
My partner is Indian and has had many authentic Indian meals throughout his lifetime. He rates these a 10/10.
I have been gluten free for 4 years now, and haven’t had a Naan bread since then, so discovering this easy, delicious recipe has made me so happy!

Awesome. Just made it and perfect first go. I did find that I needed double the amount of oil recommended and was dubious it was going to all come together, but it did one I tweaked a little. I sprinkled nutritional yeast on mine for a ‘cheesy naan’. Definitely make it again. Would also be great as a pizza base.

Hi.
Made this bread for the first time yesterday. Really nice addition to the curry. Actually I say “I” but my husband does the cooking since I became ill. He was definitely no cook but has been able to follow James recipes and cook delicious meals. James has discovered how to achieve tasty, healthy food with a short prep time. Genius!!!!!

This was such a great tasting, easy to make recipe, I did use ordinary Greek yogurt, I also made some garlic/coriander butter which I did brush quite liberally on after

MUST TRY!!!
These are soooooo good!!! Amazing quick simple recipe! 100% recommend you try it!
As an Indian, I’ve grown up on naans but for the last 4 years I haven’t been able to eat them so this is a God send! Thank you so much James!

These are the absolute food if the gods. I adore Nann bread but struggle to find decent GF ones. I’m no chef and can just about throw a meal together but these are super easy and more importantly taste AMAZING. Give them a go!

Could coconut flour work? Thanks!

  Hey Jo good question. I’ve only tried with SR flour or plain flour (gluten free) so unsure if others work! Coconut flour in the past hasn’t been great for certain baking recipes so not sure but worth a try and let me know how you get on!

Hi! These look delish! Is there a flour sub I can use? Would almond flour or oat/coconut flour work?

Could these be kept in the freezer, James?

  You could freeze them, but definitely best served fresh.

I’ve just made your Naan Bread recipe with
your Smokey Coconut dip (made earlier so time to infuse flavours). Amazing James, just amazing.

Made these to accompany a rendang curry and they were UNREAL! Tasted so chewy and authentic, such a treat! Never buying shop ones again.

  Hey Sally, yes (they won’t be as fluffy) but will still work 🙂 enjoy!

Ooh thank you, I will try these later in the week when we have a curry. Will have to use plain flour and baking powder though, would that be ok? Just wanted to say (being a photographer myself) that whoever does your food photos is quite brilliant!

Hi James
I’m also diary and soya free and the alternative yoghurts are very cost prohibitive (in and around €10 in Ireland for a 500ml tub of coconut based yoghurt) Can you suggest any alternative to yoghurt that would work for this – thanks. Máire

  Hey Máire, unfortunately this type of recipe needs yoghurt of some sort.

    Maybe try making a sour milk, add vinegar to your normal choice of non dairy milk.
