Prep Time: 40 mins

Cook Time: 10 mins
Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups (312 grams) all purpose flour

• ½ tsp baking powder

• ¼ tsp baking soda

• 1 ½ tsp

• 2 tbs olive oil

• ¾ cup water

• 3 tbs coconut cream

• 2 tbs coconut oil

• 1 garlic clove

• Chopped fresh cilantro, for serving

Steps

• In a large bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. Add the olive oil, water, and coconut cream and stir until the dough comes together. If it is dry, add a bit more water; if it is very sticky, add a sprinkle more flour. Knead for about 30 seconds to a minute until all the flour is incorporated and a dough ball forms.

• Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl. Rest for 30 minutes at room temperature covered with a towel.

• Once the dough has rested, flatten it into a disc. Then cut it into 6 equal pieces. On a clean, lightly floured countertop, roll each dough into a thin teardrop shape, about ⅛ inch thick.

• Meanwhile, grate the garlic. Heat the butter and garlic in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the garlic fragrant starts to turn yellow (but not brown), then immediately remove from the heat.

• Heat a cast iron skillet, griddle, or large skillet over very high heat until it’s blazing hot (make sure it’s as hot as possible, or the first piece won’t cook correctly). Add one of the pieces of dough and cook until the top has bubbles and the bottom is golden and very dark brown in spots (about 1 minute), then turn and cook another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side. Brush the naan with a bit of the garlic butter on both sides.

• Serve immediately with chopped cilantro.
