**Vegan Sourdough Naan With Garlic Recipe**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup sourdough starter
– 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup warm water
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon salt
– Additional olive oil for brushing
**Instructions:**
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter and warm water. Stir well to incorporate the ingredients.
2. Add the flour and salt to the bowl. Mix everything together until a rough dough forms.
3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough back in the mixing bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Allow it to rest at room temperature for at least 4 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
5. Once the dough has risen, preheat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
6. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
7. Divide the risen dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into a flat round shape, about 1/4-inch thick.
8. Brush one side of each naan with the garlic-infused olive oil.
9. Place the naan, oil-side down, on the preheated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the bottom is golden brown.
10. Brush the top of the naan with more garlic oil before flipping it over. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown as well.
11. Remove the naan from the skillet and keep warm in a clean kitchen towel while you cook the remaining pieces.
12. Serve the vegan sourdough naan with garlic warm and enjoy the irresistible flavors in every bite!
