Naan the Best so Far

Naan

submitted by Mom May 1, 2011

Naan is a type of flat bread, like pita, but softer. I have been looking for a good recipe for Naan for awhile. We love it at our favorite Indian restaurant "Seva".  Dad found this new recipe. July 6, 2019.
 Naan

1 t sugar 
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 c warm water
2 1/4 t yeast
2 1/4 c flour
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 T oil
3 T melted salted butter

1.  In a small bowl, add the sugar, warm water, and yeast together.  Stir to combine well.  The yeast will be activated in about 10 minutes.
Add dry ingredients and mix.   Add yogurt, yeast and oil. Knead dough until shiny and smooth about 3-4 minutes.  Use bread mixer, ex.  Kitchen Aid.
Cover dough, let rise until double.
2.  Divide dough into 8 equal portions.  Roll dough into a 8" circle using a rolling pin.
3.  Heat skillet( preferably cast iron), over high heat and lightly grease skillet with oil so it won't stick to pan.  Put dough into skillet until it puffs up and browns, then flip and cook other side. Remove.
Brush melted butter on Naan while hot.

  1. We made this to go with our dinner tonight. I was a wee worried because my bosch wouldn't mix or knead it because it was dry. I kneaded it by hand, cooked it on my pizza stone they turned out beautifully! Closest I have come to restaurant naan. Thanks for sharing this recipe. PS Your pic is great too!
