Naan is the name given to a flat bread made in a pan. My vegan naan bread with yeast is oil-free and yet light and soft. The acidity of the yeast and soy curd makes this irresistible taste. A pinch of baking powder provides the fluffy consistency.

The vegan naan bread from the pan. My creation was made as a thicker bun. This can be topped very well or simply enjoy with a spread. But it tastes best plain with a stew or baked beans with tomato sauce. As a side dish it goes well with any meal.

Tips

If you prefer a thinner flat bread, simply roll out the individual flatbreads. However, more flour is needed, as the dough is very soft. As an alternative to vegetable drink, sparkling water can also be taken. If the naan bread is baked without baking paper, then flour each side well so that nothing sticks.
