Ingredients

8 oz silken tofu
5 cups all purpose flour + more as needed
2.5 tsp instant yeast
1 tsp baking powder
1.5 tsp fine sea salt
1 cup warm water

Instructions

Add all the ingredients to the bowl of a large food processor. Mix everything for 3 to 5 minutes until a smooth dough is formed. If it seems sticky just sprinkle in a little more flour until the dough is smooth nd easy to handle.
8 oz silken tofu, 5 cups all purpose flour, 2.5 tsp instant yeast, 1 tsp baking powder, 1.5 tsp fine sea salt, 1 cup warm water
Slice the dough into 8 equal pieces and form each one into around ball by folding it onto itself and pinching at the bottom.
Place all the formed dough balls on a parchment lined baking sheet lightly sprinkled with flour. Cover with a damp tea towel (or parchment paper) and allow to rise for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
Preheat a heavy bottom cast iron skillet over medium heat and lightly coat the bottom with oil.
Sprinkle some flour on your counter or pastry board and place one of the dough balls on top. Using the palm of your hand press down on it to flatten it. Use a rolling pin and roll out an 8-9 inch oval.
Cook the dough in the preheated skillet until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes or so.
Repeat with the rest of the dough, wiping the skillet and adding extra oil as needed. (Alternately you can bake the naan on a hot pizza stone inside the oven @400F”)
GARLIV VERSION - To serve mix a quick garlic sauce from 1/4 cup olive oil + 1 large grated garlic clove + 2 Tbsp minced parsley. Brush the bread with the garlic oil and sprinkle with some salt flakes and red chili flakes.
