Yeast– I always use instant yeast granules for mybread recipes. This yeast does not require activation and can be added in with the other dry ingredients.
Easy Homemade Naan Bread
Water– Use warm water, you don’t want to use hot water because, you can kill the yeast. If in doubt use cold tap water.
Flour– I like to use all purpose (plain) flour for making naan. It has less gluten and protein than bread flour (bakers’ flour) which will result in a nice soft flat bread.
However, if all you have is bread flour you can use that. The bread will still be soft but, it will be a little chewy.

Salt– is a must in bread making, it adds flavour to the bread and without it you will find the bread can be a little bland.
Baking sodaalso known as sodium bicarbonate is a leaving agent and will produce carbon dioxide when it comes in contact with moisture. It will to rise the dough along with the yeast.
Oil– use a natural flavoured oil like vegetable or canola oil. If you use stronger flavoured oils, you will get the taste of these in the naan.

Step 1– Place all the ingredients into a large stand mixer bowl. Use the dough hook to knead the dough on low speed for 30 seconds.
Climate and the flour you use can affect the moisture content of the dough. So, if your dough happens to be a little drier and doesn’t stick as much to the bowl, this is fine too.
Step 2& 3– After kneading leave the dough in the mixing bowl, scrape the dough from the hook and the sides of the bowl.

Step 4– Scrape the dough from the mixing bowl onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 12 even size balls. Use a rolling pin to roll out each ball into 18 cm (7 inch) rounds.
To stop the dough from sticking to the bench and rolling pin, keep the dough dusted on the top and bottom with flour.
Make sure that the dough is of an even thickness and not rolled out too thin. It needs to be about 3-5mm (0.12 – 0.19 inch) thick, otherwise is won’t puff up properly.

Roll out about 3- 4 flat breads then start cooking. While one flat bread is cooking, roll out another while keeping an eye on the one in the pan.
Step 5 –Cook the flat bread in a hot dry cast iron skillet, don’t fry it in oil or butter because, that’s not how traditional naan is made. Naan is traditionally cooked dry on the inside wall of a hot tandoor.
Tip:This dough is very soft and stretches when picked up and can leave thin patches of dough (these thin patches won’t puff up). If you are having trouble moving the dough from the bench to the skillet, carry it to the pan on a clean dry chopping board.
Naan Bread (the Best Recipe!)
Cook the first naan in hot skillet over a medium heat. You should see it start to bubble soon after putting into the pan, leave it for a minute or two.
Then take a peek at the bottom, if it is patchy brown and looks cooked, turn it over and cook the other side for 1 -2 minutes more or until it is cooked.
Remove from the pan and place the cooked naan onto a clean tea towel and wrap to keep warm. Continue to cook the remaining naan, stacking each cooked one on the plate as they are done, keep them warm by wrapping in the tea towel.

I use an old damp folded tea towel to wipe the skillet, if you do this be careful not to get burned by steam. You could even hold the damp tea towel with tongs when you wipe the pan.
Even Sized Naan– Use kitchen scales to get the total weight of the dough then divide into 12. Then use this weight to weigh the dough into smaller portions.
On average the total weight of the dough is about 1.10 kg (2.4 lb) when divided into 12 the weight of each dough ball is about 90 grams (3.2 oz).
How To Make Sourdough Naan
Dust With Flour– This dough is sticky, to make handling easier dust the bench and lightly coat the dough pieces in flour.
Skillet Size– The cast iron skillet I use is about 20 cm (7.9 inch) in diameter which is ideal for the 18 cm (7 inch) rolled out flat breads.
Dust Off Excess Flour– Before cooking remove any excess flour, this will help to keep the pan and flat breads clean. If you get flour in the pan the tiny bits tend to burn and can discolour the naan. If this happens wipe the pan clean with a damp tea towel.
Restaurant Style Garlic Naan
Wrap To Keep Warm– Line a plate with a clean tea towel and stack the naans on top after they are cooked, keep covered with another clean tea towel to keep warm.
Yogurt Alternatives– You could use either cream, sour cream orbuttermilk. These are not in a traditional naan recipe but, are good alternatives if you don’t have yogurt.
As mentioned early the average total weight of the dough for this recipe is about 1.10 kg (2.4 pounds). If you make each dough ball around 60 grams (2 ounces) you would get about 18 mini naan from this recipe. Roll them out to about 10 – 12 cm (4 inches) in diameter.

Brush with Flavoured Butter– If you like fresh garlic, mix in two minced garlic cloves into the butter and brush this over the hot naan.
You could also spread melted butter over the naan and sprinkle on garlic powder or a mix of garlic and onion powder. Don’t be heavy handed with the garlic powder, if too much is used the garlic flavour is too strong.
Naan is typically torn into small pieces and used to scoop up food so, any boneless meat curries, vegetable or lentil style dishes will be good with naan.

Basically, any dish that has a thick gravy style sauce would be ideal, for example;Balti chicken, mixed vegetable curries, rogan josh, chicken tikka masala, beef madras, something else here, simple chickpea curry, something else here anddum aloo.
Use this easy naan bread recipe to make naan wraps, especially when you have some left over thick curry like myBalti chickenor with tikka or tandoori chicken pieces as a filling.
Tip:Eating a naan wrap can be messy especially when using a curry filling. To make it easier to eat, wrap it tightly in a piece of grease proof paper or foil.
