Homemade Naan is a simple bread and a great side to so many dishes. We love to serve it up with Coconut Curry or even Homemade Hummus!
I’ve eaten Naan at restaurants before, and I don’t know why I waited this long to try it at home. This Homemade Naan recipe is so simple, and so delicious!
Naan bread is traditionally served with Indian dishes like Coconut Curry Chicken, but I made it one afternoon and my kids ate it for an after-school snack.
How To Make Easy Homemade Naan Bread Recipe
I scored some major mom points because they were all thrilled when they walked in from the cold to find hot homemade bread waiting!
Both pita and Naan are considered flatbreads and are often served the same way, but are made differently causing the difference in texture.
DOUGH. Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl; let sit for five minutes or till bubbly. Add olive oil, yogurt, egg, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Stir till smooth.

PREP. Preheat a skillet to medium heat. Cut dough into eight pieces. On a floured surface, roll out each piece into a 6″ circle.
COOK. Add a little oil or non-stick spray to the skillet. Cook each circle for 2-3 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown on the bottom. Flip over and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
SEASON. Brush the top (the bubbly side) of each naan with melted butter. I added garlic to my butter, in order to make more of a garlic naan, but that is optional.
Tawa Naan (without Tandoor)
Yeast. Normally instant yeast does not need to be activated in warm water first, but for this recipe, it tends to create a fluffier texture than simply adding it to the flour or using active dry yeast.
Faster rise. Proofing the dough can take 1-2 hours depending on the temperature of your kitchen. Creating a warmer environment will allow the dough to rise twice as fast. There are a few methods I have used successfully. In all cases, use a heat-safe glass or metal bowl.
Dough thickness matters. The width of the bread can be anywhere from 5-10 inches wide. The thickness should only be about 3-5mm thick. If rolled too thin they’ll be crispy, but if rolled too thick, they won’t form bubbles.
Homemade Naan Recipe
Cast iron skillet. Homemade Naan is traditionally cooked in a tandoor oven or fried in a skillet. If you have one, a cast-iron skillet is a great choice. It distributes heat equally, giving an even cook to each piece of dough. Other heavy-bottomed pans will work too.
Dry cook over medium-high heat. In fact, the skillet should be hot enough to begin smoking. Hopefully, your skillet is seasoned enough to where the dough won’t stick, but if it does, use a paper towel to add a very thin coat of oil. Don’t pour in the oil or add too much because the dough will fry and we want it to dry cook.
Homemade Naan can go with anything really, but it’s typically best with Asian and Indian foods. Here are some of our favorite recipes to serve it with:

Naan also does not have to be used as just a side. We like to use it to make Flatbread Wraps, Flatbread Pizzas, sandwiches, and more.

STORE the dough. To store the dough in the fridge or freezer to be cooked later, place them in an airtight container large enough to accommodate it gradually rising. It can be kept in the fridge for 3-4 days. Punch down, divide and bake according to the directions.
FREEZE the dough. Double the amount of yeast added to the dough to compensate for any that will die in the freezer. Freeze it a couple of ways:

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.

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!
Naan With Instant Yeast Recipe (egg & Dairy Free, Vegan)
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.

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.
