Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chickpea Flour Naan
  1. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of nondairy milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of chickpea flour, 2 tablespoons of whole psyllium husks, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of baking soda. Optionally, add ½ teaspoon of garlic powder.
  3. Add the curdled milk and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the dry mixture, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.
  4. Divide the dough into three equal-sized balls, each about the size of a golf ball, and shape them into ovals on a floured surface.
  5. Using a rolling pin, roll each piece into an oval that's 7-8 inches long.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Place the naan in the skillet, oiled side down, and let it cook for about 1 minute.
  7. Flip the naan and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.
  8. Enjoy your warm Chickpea Flour Naan fresh from the skillet, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or flaky salt.
