Naan
Beautifully soft and fluffy. This Naan bread is a family favorite. We love to use it to scoop up saucy curry dishes. Or to make individual pizzas.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoon yeast
- ½ cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon sugar or honey
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup plain greek yogurt
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 Large egg
- 2 ½ - 3 cup all purpose flour
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the warm water and yeast.
- Allow to sit for a few minutes to dissolve the yeast. Add in the sugar, salt, oil, yogurt and egg. Mix well.
- Slowly add in the flour, using a spoon to mix. Only add enough needed for the dough to come together. Once you can no longer stir with the spoon, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface.
- Begin to knead the dough, adding flour as needed to form a soft dough that is tacky not sticky.
- Place back into the bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in size. Once doubled, turn the dough out onto a lightly oiled work surface and portion the dough out equally. I find that just over 2 ounces makes a great size.
- Place your cast iron pan over high heat. Roll out 1 ball of dough. Place in the pan and cook until bubbly and browned on each side (this will not take long). Place in a damp towel, brush with melted butter if desired and cover to keep warm. Continue with the rest of the dough. Enjoy!
Notes
For garlic Naan dice 3-4 cloves of garlic and add it to the dough whe mixing together.
For roasted garlic Naan, add 4 mashed cloves of roasted garlic to the dough when mixing together.
You can garnish Naan with chopped Cilantro.
