Homemade Naan Bread
Ingredients
For the Naans
- 570 Grams Plain flour plus a little extra for dusting
- 1 1/2 Teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 Teaspoon Caster sugar
- 1 Tablespoons Butter melted
- 8 Tablespoons Natural yogurt
- 200 Milliliters Water
- 1 Teaspoon Olive oil to grease bowl
For the Naan Topping
- 2 Tablespoons Butter melted
- 1 Teaspoon Minced garlic
- 1 Handful Coriander leaves
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, baking powder, and caster sugar. Add the melted butter and natural yogurt. Gradually pour in the water, mixing continuously with a spatula until a soft dough forms. Note: Stop adding water once you have a dough ball, as the amount of water needed depends on the consistency of the yogurt you use.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Grease the mixing bowl with olive oil and place the dough back into the bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 1 hour.
- After the dough has rested, divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it with a rolling pin into an oval or teardrop shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place one of the rolled-out naans into the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown spots appear. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and minced garlic. Brush this mixture over the hot naans as soon as they come off the skillet. Sprinkle with chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve the naans warm, either as a side to your favorite dishes or on their own.
