-
In mixing bowl of stand mixer, combine all dry ingredients and blend with whisk attachment.
-
Add yogurt, vinegar and about ¼ cup water. With dough hook, mix ingredients at low speed until dough forms. Add more water as needed – a tablespoon at a time. (Note: This step takes around 6-8 minutes. If you are not using a stand mixer, knead mixture by hand for 8-10 minutes.) Dough should be soft but not sticky.
-
Add tablespoon oil and knead for 1-2 minutes at low speed until dough is coated with oil.
-
Cover mixing bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rest to rise and double, up to 2 hours.
-
Once dough is ready, knead for 2-3 minutes and divide into 8 pieces.
-
Shape each piece into ball. Flatten ball and, using rolling pin, roll out to an oblong or round shape. Use oil if needed to help with rolling.
-
If using nigella seeds, sprinkle evenly over naan. Use rolling pin to embed.
-
Heat cast-iron skillet or nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat.
-
Cook naan until small bumps start to form on surface, around 30-40 seconds. Flip and cook another 30 seconds.
-
If using gas stove top, and if desired, remove pan from flame and use tongs to further cook bubbled side over open flame. Cook for 5-10 seconds to lightly char.
-
If using, spread naan with vegan butter or oil and sprinkle with cilantro. Set aside.
-
Repeat process until all dough is used. Serve warm.
