Scratch Made Naan Bread
…so fluffy and light
If you’re looking for a fool-proof and freezer-friendly Naan bread recipe that doesn’t take all day, this is the recipe for you!
Equipment
Mixing bowl & measuring cups
Large cast iron skillet
Dry ingredients
3 cups of flour (plus 1/2 cups for rolling)
1 tbsp brown sugar (or white sugar)
1 packet of dry active yeast
1 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp baking soda
Wet ingredients
1/4 cup warm water
3/4 cup plain greek yogurt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
For the bread
Place warm water, brown sugar, and yeast in a bowl for 5 minutes to activate the yeast
Next, add all wet ingredients to the bowl and mix well
Slowly add in flour 1 cup at a time and add baking soda
Mix dough together - don’t worry it will look shaggy
Next flour your counter and knead dough until smooth and no longer sticky (about 3-5 minutes)
Once the dough is smooth, generously spray the bowl with cooking spray and place the dough inside
Cover with saran wrap and let proof in a warm place until doubled in size
Once doubled, punch the dough out and roll it into a ball
Cut into desired size balls - this recipe calls for 8 generous sized naan bread pieces
Don’t forget to cover your dough with a damp towel so that it does not dry out
Next, heat up your cast iron skillet with half a tablespoon of vegetable oil and make sure the skillet is hot before placing the naan bread in
Let dough cook until you see multiple bubbles start to pop up to the surface and then flip until both sides become golden
Wrap in a tea towel and keep warm until ready to serve
You can also make a great butter, garlic, parsley mixture to dip the naan bread into
Enjoy!
