Ingredients

Instructions

To make the dough for naan bread:

  • Place the all purpose flour in a large bowl.
  • Add the baking powder, sugar and salt to the flour, mix well using a spoon so they are evenly mixed with the flour.
  • Add the yogurt also to the dry flour mixture, mix first using a spoon and then using your hands so the yogurt is evenly mixed with the flour.
  • First you get a crumbly flour mixture, but that is fine and you can continue kneading another couple of minutes to make the dough.
  • Also add the olive oil and knead well again to make a sticky dough.
  • Keep this dough covered for at least 2 hours of dough rising time.
  • Once it is done, we are ready to make the naan bread!

To make naan bread

  • Make a medium sized dough ball from the prepared dough, dust with extra flour and roll the ball in a flat surface or board using a rolling pin to form naan bread (to make very soft naan bread, make small balls and roll thinly).
  • Heat a skillet or tawa or non stick pan (iron skillet or tawa works much better than non stick pan) and grease with a little butter or ghee or oil.
  • Place the rolled naan bread in the heated pan or skillet, brush with a little more ghee or butter or oil and cook in medium to high heat (adjust the heat as needed) for about a minute or two until the bottom side is cooked.
  • Flip and cook the other side too until both the sides are golden brown in color with spots on them.
  • You may flip the naan bread again if needed, if it is not completely done.
  • Also, you may add a little more oil or butter or ghee, as needed, so the bread will cook & brown more nicely.
  • Once the naan bread is made, transfer the prepared naan bread to a serving dish.
  • Similarly make more dough balls, roll them and cook them to make more naan breads until all the dough is finished.
  • I usually make about 12 naan breads from this amount of flour.
  • Enjoy the naan bread hot with any curry or any sides or toppings as you like. It's also very delicious as it is, even without any sides!
