Vegan Naan

Mmmm.... Although not 100% of the way to what I expect from naan, I'm getting closer!

Does anyone out there have a favorite vegan naan recipe? <3

This looks amazing! Never tried to make it myself before. Where did you get the recipe?

Those look delicious! I love naan. I've made this recipe a few times with very good results:

It's easily veganised by using soy yoghurt and oil (I use peanut) for the animal products. I'd love to read your recipe as well!

Oops! I meant to post the recipe! :)

I was drawn to that one because it has both a text format in addition to a video step-by-step. With a lot of these items, it's all in the technique. This is the closest I've gotten to the naan I'm used to in Indian restaurants...but I'm still always searching for authentic items that can be made vegan. Yum!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. The picture of the naan at your link looks even closer to what I'd expect...so I'm totally going to try that one next! <3

They were super yummy, but I can't wait to try the next one. I like the little black crispy bits. :)

I know, right?! I've taken to making tortillas now, so I'll probably be posting those soon...but I still want to perfect the illusive vegan naan. :)

I've been using this recipe with great results!

http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/indian-naan-ii/Detail.aspx

My mods are canola oil for the ghee in the dough, and soy yogurt of course. Then I use Becel (Danish vegan margarine) to brush the bread before cooking it. Rather than bake it in the oven, I cook it for about a minute on each side in a VERY hot skillet on the stove. Yummy!

Just quietly, there's a recipe for naan in Terry's upcoming book and it's by far the best one I've tried.

This one is fabalusssss/ Yours looks shiny and beautiful.

i made the naan from the Joy of Vegan Baking yesterday (picture in my "cooking party food" thread) and it came out more poofy and bready than i expect naan would be. not sure what the difference is. comparing some of the recipes posted it seems pretty similar

I know this is from forever ago, but this recipe looks fairly similar (in outcome) to what I made. Looks yummy!

OOh! It's a few months later. Is the book out yet? Is there a name for this (unofficial?) book yet? Yay!

The picture at this link looks perfect...exactly what I was looking for. Need to try that recipe for sure! Hope it doesn't require any special equipment.

Yeah, I think the poofy/bready is what I wanted to avoid. I think I have that texture fairly well down now.

Terry's book Vegan Eats World has been out for a few weeks now. The naan recipe is very good.
