How to Prepare Whole Wheat Naan Bread [Vegan]

Prepare the sponge: mix all the sponge ingredients together in a large bowl. Cover up with a clean towel and place at a warm spot in your kitchen. Let the sponge rest for 20 minutes there.
After that, add the remaining Naan ingredients and spices to the sponge and knead/mix well to a sticky but cohesive texture. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rest at a warm place until the dough has almost doubled – so around 1-1/2 hours.
Take the dough out, drizzle 1 tablespoon of oil on it, knead a few more times (add flour if to wet) and start rolling out the dough on a clean surface with some flour on it. Cut the dough into 4-5 dough balls and let them rest for another 10 minutes.
Roll out the naan bowls into flatbread shapes of your choice and start topping the naan. How? just drizzle a little bit of water on top and carefully press your toppings (garlic, sesame, coriander, spices) into the naan.
Place a large size pan on medium heat on the stove and drizzle some olive or sesame oil into the pan. Now place 2-3 Naan breads into the pan an roast golden brown from both sides. (takes around 5-8 minutes per Naan)
Keep your Naan bread warm in the oven at around 250°F.
