Servings: 6 Naan breads
Ingredients
- 250 grams self-rising flour, plus extra for dusting
- 250 grams yoghurt, plain, unsweetened
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Prepare and knead the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, salt and yogurt. Mix together until a dough forms.
- Transfer the dough onto a surface dusted with some flour. Knead the dough until it's smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
Shape the Dough
- Divide the dough into six equal portions. Roll each portion out into the classic oval naan shape, about 1 cm thick.
Cook the Naan
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook each naan until it's golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Serving homemade Naan
- Once cooked, you can brush each naan with some melted butter or ghee (optional but recommended). Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by mixing together 1 cup (125 grams) of plain/ all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons (7.5 ml) baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon (1.25 ml) salt.
- You can also add some flavour to your naan by adding spices like garlic, and cumin, or herbs like chopped coriander to the dough.
- Store leftover naan bread in a bread bin or airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, or freeze for more extended storage. To reheat, sprinkle water over the naan and heat it in the oven or stovetop.
- If you have leftover dough, you can refrigerate it for up to 3 days or freeze it for up to a month. When you're ready to make more naan, just thaw the dough, divide it, and roll it out before cooking.
- If you'd like to make cheesy naan, add a small amount of your favourite cheese to the centre of the dough before rolling it out. Cook as directed. Enjoy a delicious, gooey, cheesy naan!
