Easy Naan Bread Recipe

Servings: 8 pieces

Ingredients

  • 1/4 oz active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Combine warm water, sugar and yeast in a small bowl. Mix together well. Yeast will be activate when it gets foamy (about 10 minutes).
  • Add flour to a bowl. (You can do this on a flat surface too; I chose a bowl to make it less messy). Make a well in the middle of the flour. Add yeast, yogurt, oil and salt. Mix together and knead until smooth.
  • Form dough into a ball and place in bottom of the bowl. Cover with a towel and leave in warm area to rise (about 1-2 hours).
  • Once risen, divide into 8 equal portions (I just cut in half, halfed those two halves, and halved those four halves. Roll into balls.
  • On a very (very) lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a flat circle.
  • Cook each Naan dough in a lightly oiled skillet on high heat. (I added some additional oil between each one to prevent sticking). When the dough puffs up (and is browned, flip over and cook on the other side. Repeat until all 8 are cooked.
  • You can serve immediately while warm, or store in a Ziploc bag once cooled down. You can reheat in microwave, or eat at room temperature. Great for dipping in hummus or making a wrap.
