Categories     Indian Recipes

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup warm water
1/4 oz. (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon oil
some oil, for greasing the skillet
3 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, add the sugar, warm water, and yeast together. Stir to combine well. The yeast should be activated when it becomes foamy, about 10 minutes. Transfer the flour to a flat surface and make a well in the middle. Add the yeast mixture, yoghurt, salt and oil, knead the dough until the surface becomes smooth and shiny, about 10 minutes. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place (for example: beside the stovetop or warm oven). The dough should double in size, about 1 hour.
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll the dough to a 8" circle using a rolling spin.
  • Heat up a skillet (cast-iron preferred) over high heat and lightly grease the surface with some oil to avoid the dough from sticking to the skillet. Place the dough on the skillet. When it puffs up and bubbles and burnt spots appear, flip it over and cook the other side. Repeat the same until all dough are done.
  • Brush the naan with the melted butter, serve warm.

NAAN

This recipe makes the best naan I have tasted outside of an Indian restaurant. I can't make enough of it for my family. I serve it with shish kabobs, but I think they would eat it plain.

Time 3h

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
¼ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 egg, beaten
2 teaspoons salt
4 ½ cups bread flour
2 teaspoons minced garlic
¼ cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until frothy. Stir in sugar, milk, egg, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, or until smooth. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise. Let it rise 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume.
  • Punch down dough, and knead in garlic. Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of a golf ball. Roll into balls, and place on a tray. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
  • During the second rising, preheat grill to high heat.
  • At grill side, roll one ball of dough out into a thin circle. Lightly oil grill. Place dough on grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned. Brush uncooked side with butter, and turn over. Brush cooked side with butter, and cook until browned, another 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from grill, and continue the process until all the naan has been prepared.

EASY NAAN BREAD



Easy naan bread image

Rustle up soft, fluffy naan bread topped with herby garlic butter. A perfect side dish for dunking into curries, it's super easy to make

Provided by Afia Begom - Afelia's Kitchen

Categories     Side dish

Time 50m

Yield Makes 8-12

Number Of Ingredients 9

570g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
1 tsp sugar
1½ tsp baking powder
½-1 tsp strongly-flavoured seeds, such as nigella or cumin seeds (optional)
2 tbsp melted butter
8 tbsp natural yogurt
oil, for the bowl
2 garlic cloves, crushed
small handful of coriander, finely chopped, plus extra to serve

Steps:

  • Put the flour in a large bowl, then add the sugar, baking powder and 1½ tsp salt. Add the seeds, if you like. Lightly whisk to disperse the ingredients evenly throughout the flour.
  • Add 1 tbsp of the melted butter, followed by the natural yogurt. Mix together with your hands. Once the yogurt and butter have been absorbed, gradually add 180-200ml water, 50ml at a time. Mix between additions, until it begins to come together into a dough. The water amount will depend on the consistency of the yogurt and butter - stop adding when you have a ball of dough.
  • Tip the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead thoroughly for 5 mins until smooth and elastic. Put in an oiled mixing bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave to rest for at least 1 hr. The dough will not rise but it is important to let it rest as this helps to make the naans less chewy and more fluffy.
  • If making the garlic butter, mix the garlic with the remaining 1 tbsp melted butter and the coriander. Set aside.
  • Divide the dough into eight, 10 or 12 even-sized pieces, depending on how big you want the naans. Roll into round balls, then return to the bowl, covered with a tea towel.
  • Roll one of the dough balls out on a lightly floured surface into a round, oval or teardrop shape - roll with a diagonal motion to get an oval. Flip the dough over and repeat on the other side.
  • Heat a frying pan. Dry fry the dough over a medium high heat until it begins to puff up and the underside browns in places. Flip and repeat on the other side. Remove the cooked naan from the pan. Spoon a little of the garlic butter over the naan, if using. Sprinkle over some coriander, if you like. Cover with a tea towel while you repeat the process with the remaining balls of dough.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the naan will be. Look for fresh yeast, high-protein flour, and full-fat yogurt.
  • Activate the yeast properly: Proofing the yeast ensures that it is active and will help the naan rise properly.
  • Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough develops the gluten and helps create a smooth, elastic dough.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough double in size and become light and airy.
  • Cook the naan in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the naan cook quickly and evenly.
  • Brush the naan with butter or ghee: This will help keep the naan moist and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Naan is a delicious and versatile flatbread that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes. It is a popular choice for Indian cuisine, but it can also be used in other cuisines. With a little practice, you can make naan at home that is just as good as the naan you get at your favorite restaurant.
