Garlic Greek Yoghurt Naan Bread - a basic dough using just a couple of ingredients to make the most delicious healthier buttery naan breads to accompany a variety of dishes for your Indian Fakeaway night.
Whenever I make curry I always crave garlic naan bread. I think it's that combination of that buttery bread flavour to dip into your curry to mop up all that delicious sauce. Heavenly!!
A traditional garlic naan bread however can cost you a whole load of calories - around 300 to be exact, some even more than that depending on the size.
Ingredient Naan Bread (no Yeast)
If you have been healthy eating for a while and watching the calories, you have probably come across the popular Greek Yoghurt Dough. It generally uses equal volumes of self raising flour and yoghurt in cup measurements. I use plain flour in my recipe.
Also, if you don't measure accurately the dough just isn't the right consistency, because when it comes to baking especially bread, cakes etc those measurements need to be precise. So through trial and error of testing out my naan bread - these measurements are what I found to yield the best result.
I am not sure who the originally creator was of the yoghurt dough to credit (if anyone reads this and knows, please do let me know). I did try to find who it was, but if you google Greek Yoghurt dough you will get pages and pages of different recipes using the method. My version is of course an adaption on the original dough.
Soft And Fluffy Naan Bread
I use a small amount of butter to brush the naans with the garlic and cilantro, it's not a huge amount of calories and you really don't get the same result/taste using just spray oil. (I tested both ways) and the butter definitely was the most popular in all who sampled.
I am a big believer in using a little bit of real ingredients, because this is a lifestyle changed and everything is fine in moderation.
Wondering if you can use regular yoghurt? the short answer is no. You need the thickness of Greek Yoghurt for the dough, regular plain yoghurt is too runny and won't yield the same result.
Easy Yogurt Flatbread Recipe
I know this will be a commonly asked question if you are following Slimming World because oats a healthy extra b choice.
But unfortunately oats will not work in this recipe. Not unless you are making them as per my Ultimate Oat Pizza Crust recipe.
This is because you need the gluten in flour to be able to knead everything together and roll out into the naan breads. Oat dough is very sticky and wet.

Gluten Free Naan Bread Recipe Using 3 Ingredients (vegan, Low Fodmap)
NOTE ABOUT YOGHURT: Ensure you are using proper Greek Yoghurt (like Fage, Oikos etc) for these not Greek Style yoghurt or natural and only add the thick yoghurt, not any liquid that sometimes sits on top of yoghurt (whey).
SUITABLE FOR FREEZING - freeze without the melted butter/garlic. To reheat I just add to a pan over a low heat until warm through and then brush on with the butter/garlic/cilantro.

Bread Machine Naan
Now, don’t get me wrong. I didn’t go out and buy this particular type of flour as if you look through my recipes, it’s not a flour I regularly use.
The famous 2 ingredient weight watchers dough has been used to make these 2 ingredient bagels, 2 ingredient pizza crusts and 2 ingredient soft pretzels.
Traditional naan bread is a staple bread in many East Asian countries, like India and Sri Lanka. It’s leavened and most often baked in the oven.
Homemade Garlic Naan
In this recipe, we don’t bake the naan bread but instead, dry fry it (pan fry it without oil). This makes is SO much quicker.
Depending on where in the world you are and how you make your naan bread, it can be healthy. More often than not, it is what you eat WITH the naan bread that can tip it in the direction of unhealthy.
While traditional naan bread tends to be coated in oil or butter, my version is healthier than the original and virtually fat-free!
Easy Sourdough Naan Flatbread Recipe
Making naan bread from scratch is SO simple. As it contains no yeast, it literally takes less than 10 minutes to make a batch!
In a large mixing bowl, you’ll want to combine your flour, salt (if using it) and Greek yogurt and mix until combined. If you like, use your hands to mix in the dough until fully incorporated. Form a big ball of dough.
Then, you’ll lightly flour a wooden or kitchen surface. Sprinkle a little extra flour on the ball of dough, and transfer onto the floured surface. Press the ball of dough into a circular shape and cut into 8 even pieces. Flatten each piece of dough, and form a rough, oblong shape.

Finally, you will heat a large non-stick pan on medium heat. When hot, place one piece of naan dough onto the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, before flipping and cooking for another 2 minutes. Repeat until all the dough has been used up and 8 naan bread remains!
While Greek yogurt is the only kind of yogurt that works well (including vegan Greek yogurt) there IS another alternative for Greek yogurt that can be used.
Sour cream works in the same way Greek yogurt does, as it is thick and holds together. You can substitute the Greek yogurt with sour cream.
Naan Recipe Without Yogurt (vegan)
To refrigerate: You should avoid refrigerating the uncooked dough, as it will become stickier the longer it sits. You will need to add extra flour to make it durable to form into naan bread.
To freeze: Cooked naan bread is freezer friendly. Place the naan bread in a ziplock bag. They will keep fresh frozen for up to 6 months.
