1

In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour (2 cup), brown sugar (2 tsp), baking powder (1 tbsp), instant yeast (1 tsp), garlic powder (1.5 tsp), sea salt (0.5 tsp), and ground black pepper (0.25 tsp). Whisk until well combined, then make a well in the center.
2

Slowly add the warm vegan milk (0.33 cup) and greek vegan yogurt (0.5 cup) to the dry ingredients, mixing with a spatula until just incorporated and the dough is shaggy.
3

Flour a clean surface and transfer the dough. Flour your hands and knead for about 3 minutes until manageable, adding up to all-purpose flour (2 tbsp) if the dough is too sticky.
4

Lightly grease the dough ball with [coconut oil] and place it back in the bowl. Cover and let it rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes until doubled in size.
5

Divide the dough into 6 equal balls. On a floured surface, flatten each ball with your palm and roll into an oblong shape, about 6-8 inches long.
6

Heat a cast-iron or large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of each naan with [coconut oil] (or olive oil). You can add additional seasonings now.
7

Add coconut oil (1 tsp) per naan to the hot skillet. Place a naan in the pan and fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until bubbles form and slightly darkened spots appear.
8

Flip and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until similar darkened spots appear.
9

Remove from heat and place on a wire rack to cool. Sprinkle with [vegan parmesan cheese], [garlic], [parsley] (or cilantro) and a dash of [sea salt] if desired. Repeat for remaining naan. Serve and enjoy!
