Easy Homemade Naan

Method

  1. 1

    Mix flour, yogurt, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Mix all together until you get a dough. Knead for 3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Divide into 6 equal pieces. Roll in a ball then flatten the dough with a rolling pin to about 6 inch diameter.

  3. 3

    Heat a pan until hot and brush naan with oil. Cook for 3 minutes until golden spots appear and it puffs. Brush the other side and flip. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Repeat until no more naan is left.

  4. 4

    In a bowl, stir together butter and garlic. Brush naan with it if you prefer. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Plain Naan: To make plain naan bread, simply omit the garlic and brush with melted butter only. Fresh Herbs: Add some chopped cilantro, basil, oregano, dill or parsley to the garlic butter. Spices: You can add spices to the garlic butter, try red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, or smoked paprika for something a little different. This adds lots of flavor! Peshwari Naan: Peshwari naan is a sweet naan bread, made by adding sweeter ingredients like slivered almonds, sultanas, or shredded coconut into the bread dough. Omit the garlic and only brush with melted butter to finish. Get the Pan Hot: You need to get the skillet nice and hot before adding the naan. The hotter the pan, the quicker the bread will puff up. Use a Dish Towel: Place the cooked naan breads onto a dish towel to rest, while you use up the remaining bread dough. The cloth stops the bread from sweating and becoming soggy.
