Enter this idea. Its a recipe for gluten free naan. Since I LOVE naan, I had to try it. I will say the recipe is definitely a challenge technique wise but worth your patience to get it right. The pile below is the fruits of my labor. It needed a ton of potato starch to roll it out. Yes, the recipe still needs perfection in my opinion but I can live with my results for sure. ( The original recipe says it should come out like mash potatoes consistency but alas, its a bit like rolling out mashed potatoes.)
I put it in a 450 degree oven with my toppings on and left it in just long enough that the cheese melted. The onions on top were sheer goodness.
Gluten Free Naan
3/4 cup brown rice flour
3/4 rice flour
3/8 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup all purpose gluten free flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cooking oil
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons xanthan
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons yeast
potato starch as needed
Combine dry ingredients: brown rice flour, rice flour, cornstarch, all purpose gluten free flour, teaspoon salt, baking powder, xanthan. In a small bowl mix warm water with the honey, stir to combine. Sprinkle on yeast and set aside to become frothy. Mix wet ingredients- buttermilk, eggs, oil and then finally the yeast mixture. Pour into dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Beat for about 4 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes.
Sprinkle potato starch on surface place a handful of mixture onto potato starch. Sprinkle potato starch over top and roll. You have to use the potato starch pretty liberally. You could try using parchment. Roll out a round, flat piece. Transfer to hot skillet heat for about five minutes. Flip to other side until just golden. Remove from griddle and start again.
