How to Make Easy 3-Ingredient Gluten-Free Naan

FAQs
Can I use a different type of yogurt?
Yes, you can use any plain yogurt, but Greek yogurt gives the naan a thicker texture.
Can I use regular all-purpose flour instead of gluten-free?
This recipe is designed for gluten-free flour; using regular flour will change the texture and possibly the taste.
How can I make this naan vegan?
