Naan is a leavened Indian flatbread traditionally cooked in a tandoor, a cylindrical clay or metal oven also used to make tandoori chicken. Plain yogurt gives the dough a pillowy, stretchy crumb, and cooking it over high heat gives naan bread its signature glossy, blistered surface, which is finished by brushing with ghee or butter. How to Make Naan Bread: Combine dough ingredients: In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, instant yeast and salt. In another medium sized bowl whisk together the warm water, yogurt, and olive oil.
Steps to make Easy Homemade Naan Bread (Plain or with Basil):
- Put the cake and both flours in a large bowl and mix well. Shift the flour to one side, and make a hole in the middle with your finger.
- Put the dry yeast and sugar in the empty part of the bowl, and put the salt in the hole in the flour. This is to prevent the yeast and salt from touching each other.
- Add the warmed up milk and water plus oil (or olive oil), aiming for the area where the dry yeast is, little by little while mixing the flour in (mix the part with the salt in last).
- Mix it all together, and then knead for 15 to 20 minutes. Add the basil at this stage if you're making the basil version.
- When the dough is smooth, round it off, cover with plastic wrap, and leave to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. If it's cold, put the bowl in a 40°C water bath.
- When the dough has risen to about 1.5 times its original size, deflate it, and punch it down.
- Divide into as many portions as you like. I divided it into 5 pieces this time; each piece is about the size of my palm.
- Press the dough out into a teardrop shape (or any shape you like), and line it up in an non-oiled frying pan. If all the pieces won't fit in at once, keep the reserved dough covered and warm.
- Cover loosely with aluminum foil, and cook over low heat until it's as browned as you like. Cook the other side in the same way and it's done. It takes about 2 minutes per side.
