On my website I have already presented a naan bread with yeast. Now I bake once a naan bread without yeast, only with baking powder. This is faster, also tastes very fine and is versatile to use. Simply distribute different vegetables or beans on the patties and then roll up. To top it off, add a delicious topping on top. A few herbs, onions or chives give the naan bread the spice. Or you can simply eat the naan bread with stews or a dip.
Naan bread without yeast
A super light and tasty bread that you can use in many ways. It’s best filled with lettuce, tofu or tempeh and topped with a delicious soy yogurt sauce. This is one of my favorite dishes. With a little practice, you can get these wonderful patties baked quickly. The important thing is to either roll them up or put them in small bowls right after baking to shape them and of course cover them with a wet cloth. They do dry out very quickly and afterwards you can’t shape them because they will break. But with a little skill you get great flatbreads.

Ingredients
- 150 g whole spelt flour

- 80 g soy yogurt or other vegetable yogurt
- 50 ml warm water
Instructions
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Pour warm water and yogurt into the bowl.
- Stir with a spoon, then knead with your hands. It should be a soft and smooth dough, not too dry, but not sticky.
- Then let the dough rest covered for 15 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 4 portions and sprinkle the work surface with a little flour.
- Shape each portion round with flour.
- Heat an enameled pan on the stove until hot.
- In the meantime, roll out each ball of dough into an oblong shape with a rolling pin, adding a little more flour if needed. The dough should not stick.
- Once the pan is hot, add a patty and bake, covered, for a few minutes over medium-high heat until bubbles form. Then turn and continue baking without a lid.
- Repeat this process for each batches.
Tip
Use sparkling water instead of regular water.
