Naan bread edit
Makes 6 naan pieces. Easy. Made with pantry ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup of yogurt
- 2 cups of flour
- 1/4 cup of butter
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup of warm water
- 1 tsp of active dry yeast
- 1 tsp of salt
- 1 tsp sugar
Instructions
- Bloom yeast in warm water with sugar for ~15 minutes
- In a small pan warm up the butter and cook the garlic for a few minutes, reserve into a container for later
- Combine yogurt, flour, salt, yeast/water mixture, and 1 tbs of strained garlic butter until a shaggy dough is formed
- Knead shaggy dough for 4-5 minutes until the dough springs back lightly to the touch
- Grease bowl with some strained garlic butter and allow dough to rise for 1-2 hours. Once it has doubled in size, punch it down and shape it into a rectangle.
- Cut the rectangle into 6 equal pieces, roll them into balls and cover them with plastic wrap for 15-20 minutes to proof the dough
- Roll out each ball into a long naan shape (some flour dusting may be required)
- Cook the naan for a few minutes on each site on a dry and searing hot cast iron skillet
- Brush the naan with the remaining garlic butter
Notes
It is best to use natural yogurt, but sweetened vanilla yogurt can work in a pinch. The naan tastes great made in a wooden oven or finished on a bbq. Recipie from foodwishes youtube channel.
