As a teenager I spent several years in the Middle east as an aide worker. While spending those years in the desert I learned to love the middle eastern culture I was in and learned to love their foods as well. This Naan bread was very foreign to me (having grown up on mostly Amish honey bread and hamburger or hot dog buns), but I learned to love it and use it as a side to every meal like the locals did. This recipe For Iraqi style Naan was developed with the help of a few of my Middle eastern friends and has been adapted to be made in our Western kitchens with more “modern” appliances.

This simple Naan recipe is a recipe that was passed on from my middle eastern friends and has been adapted to be made in western kitchens.

You can also use all purpose flour for this Naan recipe. If using all purpose flour you will need 2 1/4-2 1/2 cups of flour.
Heat an electric griddle to maximum heat, then cook the Naan disks on top. After 30-60 seconds on high heat you can turn the heat down to medium, then flip the bread once the bottom is browned and has started to bubble. Some people like to fry the bread in a frying pan. I find the oven and pizza stone or baking them in a hot grill, produces the best results for me. You can experiment and find what works for you.
The traditional way of shaping the Naan bread is a little more difficult but fun to master. Take a little olive oil and rub it on your palms, then press the edges of the dough down with your fingers until only a walnut sized lump in the center remains. Take the dough and slap it out between your palms, stopping to stretch it out a bit every once in a while. Once you have the desired shape you can place them directly onto the hot stone to bake, without adding oil.

While working in Iraq as humanitarian Aid workers, Naan was a huge part of our diet. One day a local lady invited my friend and I over to learn how to make Naan in her outdoor, earthen oven. She taught us how to slap the bread into shape (with much fumbling on my part), how to bake it and which ingredients to use. When I asked about adding yogurt to the bread dough she thought it was funny, so Iraqi bread is slightly different than most Naan recipes, but still produces the same chewy, delicious results!
Naan can be used as a side to many dishes and we especially enjoy it with Shakshuka, Middle eastern chicken and rice, Moroccan chicken and chickpeas !

Many houses use a regular oven. However, the convection oven is more trending these days. It bakes the bread faster than the regular oven. Since it has a fan, it lets the hot air circulate around the cavity of the oven. So, there are no cold spots. In addition, you do not have to preheat it for a long time. Thus, you can save time and lower your energy consumption.
