Naan Bread (the Best Recipe!)

This easy naan recipe is super quick and easy to make and only requires 7 ingredients. There's no special equipment needed aside from a large mixing bowl and a rolling pin.

STEP 1: Activate the yeast. For the yeast to do its trick it needs to be activated. Dissolve the yeast and ½ teaspoon of sugar in warm water (not hot) using a whisk.

Then set aside for about 10 minutes. During the activation process, the active dry yeast will start to foam and form little bubbles.

Let the dough rise in an airtight container that's big enough to hold the dough after it's doubled in size. That way it won't dry out as much.

STEP 5: Cook. Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Place the naan in the hot pan and cook on one side for about 2 minutes until you can see bubbles forming.

Pita is thicker and more used for stuffing in recipes such as kebab or falafel. Naan is more bubbly and usually eaten as a side dish.

Homemade Naan {easy No Yeast Naan Bread}

These flatbreads use miracle two ingredient dough as a base.  The only difference is that you need to use olive oil to roll out the flatbreads instead of flour.

I've popped down a simple garlic butter that tastes great slathered on top of the flatbreads when they're fresh off the frying pan.  This is entirely optional and not necessary, but adds a little something more if you're entertaining.  Just be sure to not cook the flatbreads with the garlic butter on them - the garlic tends to burn.

Naan and flatbread look similar and you could easily think they were both the same thing.  But there is a difference between the two and that difference lies in one important ingredient - yeast!

Easy Yoghurt Naan Recipe

Traditionally flatbread is made without yeast, which is also known as an unleavened bread.  Naan bread, on the other hand, is made with yeast and is a leavened bread.

Both breads can be used in a similar fashion and both taste delicious.  If you're worried about using yeast or just looking for something super quick and easy, flatbreads the best way to go.

Quick

Place Greek yoghurt in a mixing bowl and give it a stir. Add in 1 cup of flour and stir to combine. Gradually add in more flour until the dough starts to form into a ball.

Vegan Naan Bread (no Yeast, No Oil)

Tip the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead with your hands for a minute or two. If the dough is still too sticky, add some more flour and continue to knead. The dough is ready when it is able to hold it’s shape and is not sticking to your hands or the surface.

Divide the dough into 6 even parts.  Lightly grease a clean work surface with olive oil then use a rolling pin to roll each ball of dough out into rounds approximately the size of a saucer.  Flip your dough to ensure both sides get covered in oil.  Drizzle more oil on the surface as needed.

Heat a skillet or frying pan on medium heat.  Once the pan is hot, add a flatbread and cook each side for 20-30 seconds, until cooked through and covered in brown spots.  Repeat with the remaining flatbread.

If you're wanting to use the optional garlic butter, simply mix the butter and garlic together then brush over the flatbreads as soon as they come out of the frying pan.

Once flatbreads have completely cooled, place in an airtight container or ziplock bag in the freezer for up to three months.  These are so handy to pull out when you're having curry or soup for dinner.
