Vegan Naan Bread
Both flatbreads are made with a yeast raised dough, however Pita bread has a harder texture when compared to Naan. While pita bread only contains flour, water, yeast, salt and some olive oil; naan is made with a fattier, more enriched dough including ghee (clarified butter), oil, yogurt and sometimes eggs. This gives naan its different texture.
Serve with Tikka Masala or Butter Chicken, or use them to make wraps. Substitute garlic naan breads for tortillas for quesadillas, or for simple naan pizzas!
If you plan on storing your naan breads, do not brush them with the garlic butter. When cooked, let cool completely to room temperature to prevent condensation. Transfer to ziplock bags and store at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 4 days.

If I could craft an idyllic version of myself-- we'll call her Dream Morgan-- she'd be the sort of woman who woke up on the first blare of her alarm, who started her day with a long run (and enjoyed it), who answered all of her emails in a timely manner, and who never once let a dish sit in the sink overnight. You know, in a perfect world. She'd also be the type of lady to labor over a mother dough and bake her own bread each week, plus a few extra loaves for her neighbors.
I recently perfected my homemade white bread recipe, but even still, loaves of bread (especially sourdough) make me nervous. But flatbreads? Oh man, I can make one heck of a flatbread without breaking a sweat, because it's nearly impossible to do it wrong.
Homemade Garlic Naan (without Yeast)
If you've never had it before, naan is a slightly leavened type of Indian flatbread that bears some similarities to pita bread. However, naan uses milk and yogurt in the dough, which makes it softer and chewier than pita. When slathered in a garlicky melted butter mixture, it's one of my favorite parts of Indian cuisine.
I've always wanted to make Homemade Garlic Naan so that I don't have to go out to enjoy it (and I could serve it with some of my favorite Indian-inspired recipes like Easy Chicken Tikka Masala, Sheet-Pan Tandoori Chicken & Vegetables and Slow Cooker Indian-Spiced Lentils), but the fact that it's traditionally baked in a clay oven makes it sound more like a job for Dream Morgan.
Recently, though, I realized that you can still get the same fluffy, slightly charred results with the help of a hot skillet-- no tandoor necessary. So recently I've been eating a WHOLE LOT of homemade naan.
Garlic Naan Bread Recipe
This naan recipe is simple and hard to mess up. Even the messiest, most misshapen pieces of dough will still puff up and be delicious. And everything is beautiful when it's brushed with garlic butter. Everything.
Dough can sometimes be a little finicky, but if you know how to troubleshoot it you won't have any issues with these!
Most of the time, the ratio of ingredients listed in the recipe will give you the perfect consistency dough and you won't have to worry about a thing. However, sometimes other factors come into play. Maybe you didn't have all purpose flour, so you substituted bread flour. Maybe it's particularly humid in your neck of the woods. Maybe you swapped in greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt, and now your dough feels a little dry. Maybe you haven't kneaded enough, or are afraid to knead too much. Maybe you did everything right but for some unknown reason, the bread gods are not smiling down on you today and your dough just feels wrong.

Your perfect dough should be completely smooth and slightly tacky to the touch. A good example of what to look for can be seen in the video below. Just remember the phrase as smooth as a baby's bottom. That's what you're aiming for here!
When your dough is ready, it will hold its shape. If you lift the dough in your hand and hold it in the air for a second, it should hold its ball shape, not slop and sag down between your fingers.
If your dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time. If it's too wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time. It's as easy as that. Make sure you're mixing and kneading as well though, because sometimes it will
