Ingredients
Herb & garlic oil
-
1½ Tbsp (22 mL)vegetable oil
-
2garlic cloves, crushed
-
1 tsp (1 g)dried parsley
-
¼ tspsalt
Naan
-
2 cups (276 g)all-purpose flour
-
½ cup (120 mL)unsweetened soy yogurt†
-
¼ cup (60 mL)unsweetened soy milk
-
½ Tbsp (7 g)granulated sugar
-
1 tsp (5 g)baking powder
-
¼ tspsalt
Directions
- To a small bowl, add the oil, garlic, parsley, and salt. Whisk and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the naan ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth. If the dough keeps sticking to your hands or the surface, simply sprinkle over more flour.
- Divide the dough into 4 and roll out each piece into an oval shape, about 2 mm thick. Continue to add flour as needed to prevent sticking.
- Preheat a large pan or cast iron skillet on medium-high heat. Lightly brush one side of the naan with the herb and garlic oil, and transfer the oiled side down onto the pan.
- Brush the top side of the naan with some of the garlic oil as well. Grill until the bottom is golden, then flip to cook on the other side. Repeat with each naan.
- Serve with your favourite curry. Enjoy!
Notes
- †Nutrition tip: aim to use a plant-based yogurt and milk that are fortified with calcium.
Storage
- Best to enjoy immediately.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for up to 1 day.
- Freeze, separated by layers of parchment paper, in a well-sealed container for up to 1 month. Simply thaw and re-toast when ready to enjoy.

Omg this is so easy and so good! Love the slight sweet taste the little bit of sugar adds! Served with PUL red lentil spinach soup!
I really like this recipe. I made it several times.
This is THE foolproof recipe! I love it!
Best naan recipe I’ve found! So fluffy and delicious.
Simply delicious and quick to make. I was cooking a pumpkin soup and didn't have any bread at home to accompany it. While the soup was cooking, all the naans were made. So yummy.
Third trial recipe in 2 days and was very good. Had it with the roasted cauliflower and lentil curry.
Delicious!
My husband is gluten intolerant and still kept coming back for more 😆
Super nice and easy, impressed by friend a lot. We got more than 4 naans out of the recipe, but ran out of garlic oil (needed to make new one)
Delicious and simple recipe. I paired this with PUL Tikka Masala recipe. My husband, father-in-law, and I all loved it. I’ll certainly make these again!
Easy peasy!
This was absolutely amazing! It was super fast and super easy. I felt like I was cooking something that belonged in a nice vegan restaurant but you made this meal total attainable for me to make. Thank you so much! I made the 6 serving portion and found that they came out bigger than the pictures which was totally not a bad thing for me. I just used some garlic salt that I had on hand rather than fresh but it still worked perfect (just donʻt add too much because itʻll be too salty). We added hummus, black beans, and your recipe for pickled red onions with some chopped cilantro and lime juice sprinkled on!
Is it okay to use oat or almond flour to make it gluten free?
Genius recipe!! It’s so simple to make that even who’s not very skilled in the kitchen can totally manage. My dough was very crumbly in the beginning but after putting more yogurt it turned out perfect! I pared it with a curry recipe from the recipes section and it was unbelievably good. I was so shocked I did something so good but so simple!! Highly recommended, you won’t regret! ☺️
By now I have to say, I’m deeply in love with the app and the recipes!
These were very yummy, paired with the tofu tikka masala as suggested. Only suggestion for the recipe would be to include an idea of how long to knead the dough and how long roughly to cook each side, got there in the end but it would have made me feel a bit more confident tackling it for the first time! Will definitely do again 😊
I love making these, they are so easy, SO impressive when made for friends and easy to batch make and re-heat!
This is so amazing! Thank you :)
So easy to make and so good! Everyone thought there were store bought ahah
When the time at hand is short, this naan is incredibly good even without making the flavoured oil - just brushed with vegetable oil and drizzled with some fine salt after baking.
Best naan I've ever had, and so quick to make 🥰
This was absolutely delicious! Will make again.
My fisrt try and it was delicious✨
Best naan I ever made!!! 👌
Thank you so much for the recipe!
Can I substitute the yoghurt with something else? Vegan yoghurt is ridiculously expensive where I live :(
Thanks so much!
So easy to make and delicious 😋
Really yummy and super easy to make! My local supermarket does not sell any naan and I have never made it myself because I thought that you would have to put quite a lot of effort in it but I was proven otherwise. Thanks so much for such an easy recipe! Will definitely make this more often.
Just made this recipe, it was amazing!
2 questions:
- can I make this recipe without the sugar?
- can I freeze the dough?
Thanks!
Been loving this recipe for years now and it became a staple when I cook something Indian. You have a spelling mistake at step 6: “to gook” instead of to cook :)
Greetings from Hamburg
Love it! I'm definitely gonna make this more times.
So delicious! I didn’t have a non dialect yogurt so I just used plain Greek yogurt. But that did mean I need to about double the milk. I also doubled the oil and garlic. So yummy :)
My 13 yr old just made these using your app. She loved the "make" button and found it easy to follow the directions there along side the pics. Thank you!
We loved it so much! But I skipped the garlic (as always).
The biggest challenge is to find the right heat with my iron pans - but I think I have found it.
I have use a wheat flour, type 1050 (nearly whole wheat flour) and oat milk and I needed to to add a bit more of the oat milk.
Lecker :)
Easy and delicious!
Delicious !
Amazing ! It's always a success and a must-have w/ curry sauce, meal ect. I highly recommend it, it's super easy and quick to make
Easy, perfect, delicious. My soy yogurt wasn’t very runny so I had to add a little more soy milk. It was perfect.
So good. Easy and fast.
I not only enjoyed eating these, but also making them. So much easier to make than I imagined, and so tasty.
So excited to try this out tomorrow along with the new palak tofu recipe!! I can't find vegan naan anywhere near my place so thank you for this🙌
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour for this recipe?
This was super easy and tastes delicious! My mom and I love it!
Hey Pick Up Lines Team
Awesome Recipes
I have an idea for a little elevation of the app: maybe you could add at the info section a few tipps for storage. For example i m a student, i wont be eating all the naan at once or other recipes which are a bit more work would be great to know how to store them.
Thanks a lot!
Made this with a simple red lentil soup and it was perfect
My go-to recipe for naans. Really tasty, and even better with fresh parsley instead of dried 🤗
Very tasty and relatively easy to make! Next time I’d make more than four naans out of the dough, as they were a bit too thick to be cooked properly / quickly. Nonetheless, very tasty. Heated them up using a toasting iron, which I can recommend as well.
I forgot to star this with my comment.
So great! Super quick too.
Delicious and easy to make
amazing
Delicious! <3
I would really recommend this! The best recipe for homemade vegan naan I have ever tried! Thank you so much for this 🙏
I've made this many times since I discovered the recipe and the result is always incredibly good!
Highly recommended!
Delicious and super easy!
Very tasty and very easy to make. ♥️
Super delicious and easy to make. Together with Tofu Tikka Masala lunch todays lunch felt like ordering food from a nice restaurant.
Light fluffy and so easy !
Super easy and really delicious! Love that it takes little time to prepare (:
So easy and delicious! They take minutes to make and are packed with flavor.
There really are easy and delicious. I used dried fenugreek as I didn't have parsley. I think next time I will make some extra yogurt marinade for the tofu butter chicken and use that extra for some of the yogurt in the naan. Thanks for the recipe!
This was my first try of making Naan myself and it was so tasty, this is an amazing recipe!!
Absolutely delicious and quick. Always a win with my kids!
Delicious, as always!
I. Love. This. Recipe. So easy! So tasty! So so versatile. I'm now making the dough and keeping it in the fridge for when I need a quick bread like moment in my day. One day I got the yogurt and milk quantities reversed by accident, still worked! It's amazing.
I've made this naan recipe sooo many times whenever I make a curry for friends and it's always a hit! It's super easy and tastes absolutely incredible (like really really amazing!), thanks so much for the recipe!
Attantion! This bread leads to addiction! Especially when added some black cumin...=^.^=
Our go-to flatbread recipe 😍😍😍
We love this recipe! It's been a real hit at our home for the last couple of months whenever we make curry. Sadly our naan is so popular that there are never any leftovers to store in the fridge. :)
Hey, I am having a question about the naan:
Can I also make the naan on an inside grill (smokeless grill)? I don´t really have the best pans in our house, sometimes things stick and sometimes not (since the recipe does not say to use butter or oil before putting the naan in, it´s likely that it will stick to the pan).
Thank you for your help! :)

Thank you so much Sadia and Robin!
I love this recipe, and I love PUL! The videos are always so inspiring and simple, extremely beautiful and calming and oh so inspiring! You two are a wonderful couple and are my go-to for plant based dishes / curries. I've made quite a few of your recipes and have loved every single one! I made this one last night and it was so quick, and so delicious - my boyfriend was so impressed, I was too!
It made me say "wow, you really can just live off plants - eh'?" I always naively and innocently thought that one would be hungry when living off only plants, although boy am I wrong! I'm so excited to continue to experience your recipes and I'm so grateful for you Sadia, and the PUL team. Also - your website is a beautiful creation, most definitely one of the best I've ever seen.
Sending lots of love and encouragement,
Paula

Really good recipe! Easy and very tasty naan
Very good recipe! The dough was easy to prepare and to bake. The only issue I have had were burnt herbs on the 3rd and 4th naan. Next time, I will try to bake first with only oil, and add herbs after baking. Nevertheless, the taste was great and I am certainly going to use this recipe again.
Hi Sadia,
Thank you so much for you amazing recipes. Can I substitute all-purpose gluten flour for the all-purpose flour?
the naan is great and I revisit the recipe a lot of times. thanks so much Sadia!
I have just tried this recipe and it was fantastic. Dealing with all the flour is always a bit messy (or at least I always make a mess with it), but even taken this into account it was easy, quick and delicious.
Such an easy recipe! One of the things I missed most when I went vegan was eating naan as I was never able to find any dairy-free options in my local grocery stores. This recipe really fills that gap! It takes a bit of time to prep and cook all the pieces, but it's so worth the extra effort!
I love this recipe!! I made it with curry for my family and they love it!! My grandma is the one who loves it the most! and it's so easy to do! Thank you very much! :)
I absolutely loved this naan! I made it with the vegan buttered 'chicken' and it was better than anything I could have imagined I could make at home! thank you!
Oh, how I love this naan recipe! This has taken my curries to a whole new level and always feels like a treat, even though it's very easy. My husband loves it too, and it makes us feel like we're having a fancy dinner together, even when we're just at home. Your recipes often help me feel like I'm doing that extra little something for myself without too much extra effort. Thanks for including recipes for these kinds of homemade extras that really make a meal special. :)
The recipe was easy to follow. My family, who usually only tolerates my vegan recipes, began devouring the naan as soon as I pulled it off the pan. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Great recipe, I make it all the time and know it by heart now. It even takes me even less time to make now that I have made it more often!
I make this recipe all the time!
So easy to make and super delicious.
Perfekt with any curry dish.
Hi,
Can I make the dough in advance?
I use this recipe every single week! My children love it so much ☺️. Thank you ever so much .
hello, love the recipe! but is it possible to change the baking powder to yeast?
Is that possible to bake the naans in the oven?
WIll this work with whole wheat flour instead of AP? Thanks in advance.
My first time making naan, I didn't make the garlic and herb oil because I wanted to keep it simple for the first time. I never knew that naan was so easy and I'm making the oil next time! Delicious and obviously cheaper than store-bought.
This is my go to naan recipe whenever I make a curry or anything else that I can pair it with! It is super easy and tasty - way better than the store bought ones!
This is going down as 5 Star plus for me!! I love Naan n Hummus, but never knew how to make Naan. Thank you Sadia for such a delicious experience 😋. I made it for lunch today and we almost couldn't stop..😆. It's so yummy!!
My husband is a huge bread lover, and he wasn't sure if this would be as tasty as Naan we get from restaurants. We both loved this recipe, and he said he'd rather us make this version than paying for restaurant Naan in the future!
I love this recipe! I was really afraid that the naan would stick to my pan but it worked perfectly. It was super quick to make and really tasty.
I am doing veganuary to tip my toe into being vegan. I made the naan to go with your potato and spinach recipe and oh my goodness both of these are winners! I will be putting my review on that recipe too as this is how I am semi tracking what I have already cooked ;) I always looks at naan as something daunting to make but this was suuuuper easy. I did make mine super thin because that's how I like it and I needed a splash more or soy milk to get all of my ingredients combined. All in all huge winner :) thank you for making my journey into veganism so much easier!!
I love this naan recipe sooo much! it's amazing. I even bought yogurt-cooker to have some unsweetened yogurt on hand :)
Amazing, just did it for lunch! So grateful for this one :)
Tasteful, delicious, easy to prep and so so lovely!
Tasty
Amazing! So easy! I’m going to make this forever. Thank you, Sadia!
So good and easy ! I especially like the yoghurt since it gives the naan an interesting taste :))
Love this naan. It is so flavourful. I just made it without garlic or herbs and salted after it came out of the pan. The best dunker in to the sauce ;) Delicious!
Made the naan today, and served it with homemade hummus. Totally worth it! Thank you for everything, Sadia!
I'm a big fan of flatbread and this one is the best I've tried so far. Soft, tasteful and lovely.
These are dangerously delicious, I couldn't control myself and ate way more than I should've. Delicious nonetheless lol.
these are soo good! and very easy to make spontaneously as the ingredients are mostly pantry essentials 😊 i'll make some again for my mom some day!
I have made this naan bread twice to go alongside a dahl that I made and both times it came out really well. I think the more times you make it the more proficient you become at rolling it out. Thank you Pick up Limes for another great recipe that is inspiring me on my vegan journey.
Such a delicious and nurturing recipe (as are all your recipes).
I like to make it with 50-50 white and whole grain flour which works out really nice. As I didn't have any dried parsley, I used herbs de provence mix, which was a delight as well :) Thank you for the work you do by sharing your delicious recipes.
I'm always skeptical when it comes to making dough (I'm not a great baker), but these turned out really well and - most importantly - were quick to make. I've made these both in a vegan as well as a non-vegan version with plain yoghurt and cow's milk, it turns out great every time. Thanks for the recipe!
Wonderful recipe! Extremely simple, and so delicious!
I used plain almond milk yogurt and unsweetened almond milk and it came out beautifully!
Thanks for a simple version of a delicious classic!
I love this one! Never failed to make those naans! Thank you so much for sharing this!!
I love this recipe and being able to make my own naan bread! I use gluten free flour and they are the best gluten free naan's I have ever tasted! My boyfriend is always excited when I am making these.
This is sooo yummy. Super easy and definitely the best naan I ever had. Thanks PUL team 😍
Love this naan recipe! Always delicious, even without the garlic - just herby naan.
I've got one question though: is it possible to freeze these at any stage (dough, already pan-fried)? I'm not a massive plain yoghurt fan and I only have access to these huge 500g alpro soy yoghurts and I would love to batch make the dough to have it ready to use whenever I make one of your delicious curry recipes and not waste any precious food.
The best naan ever! Loved by my boys (big and small) and super easy to make.
LOVE this naan. It's my go to! I have celiac disease and I can't find gluten-free naan in any stores near me! I tried this recipe swapping out the regular flour for all-purpose gluten free flour and it's THE BEST.
This is the best garlic naan recipe ever. We have it all the time with your currys.
Hi! I don't have much access to plant based yogurts...can I swap or something else or just don't use it?
Everytime I make a curry, I come back to this recipe to whip up this simple but yet SOO delicious naan. Never disappointed !
I have made these naans so many times… easy and so delicious ! My fac comfort food 💗
I make curry once a week for my family and there is always a chorus of despairing wails from my kids if I neglect to include naan. So easy and tasty!
This recipe is amazing! Made it with some lentils and rice, and it made our meal even better!
Very easy but yet so delicious! This herb and garlic oil makes these naans irresistible.
Absolutely one of the yummiest naans I've ever had (not just made). So easy and quick to whip up! I use it as plain naan, flatbread crust, and I even sometimes thin it out while spreading in order to break into uneven pieces and they become irregular nachos! They are also so easy to flavor, right before putting them on the pan, I like to spread on them this sweet & spicy paste I make that just makes them super delicious. Thank you for giving me this og customizable recipe that I will keep in my heart forever! <3
Love this naan bread, have made it multiple times
I still haven't found a good plant-based yogurt that I enjoy. I used whole milk plain yogurt for this recipe and it worked well.
I tested this recipe tonight and all my family absolutely loved it! I will definitely do it again, thank you so much Sadia!
I love this recipe! Easy and super tasty, my go-to naan. <3
