This now a family favorite. I let thw dough sit covered for at least one hour and they come out wonderful every time. We cannot consume dairy so I substitute the milk with unsweetened almond milk instead. I wish I could add pictures as we have achieved some very impressive air pockets. Thank you for posting this recipe.

Thank you so much for trying out my Turkish bread recipe! I’m thrilled to hear that you enjoyed it and found it easy to make in your bread machine. I agree, homemade bread is always so satisfying and delicious, especially when you can tailor it to your liking. And yes, it’s definitely a cost-effective alternative to buying naan bread. Thanks again for sharing your experience and feedback, and I hope you get to enjoy the bread again soon!

Hey,

I’ve not tried it with vegan milk but I don’t think that would be an issue 🙂

I used my homemade soy yogurt and water and it works great in any kind of bread baking. You don’t have to use milk. But if you do, make sure your milk is not the sweetened kind. 😊

I landed on this site after I made bazlama and realized how similar it was to naan. Still trying to figure out the difference between the two as both the ingredients and the method of cooking are the same. 😄 Of course you’d need to brush on the oil/butter after cooking to make it more like naan.

Yes, you could use vegan milk. The taste will be slightly different but it will still taste great 🙂
