I love to cook naans in oven in a big batch when some guests or more family members are around. You know, less perching on stove and every one happy, asking for one more naan or few demanding naan recipe too. ;)
Until now, often my oven-baked naans were getting too crisp and crusty than I like.... so I have been testing this recipe. With this batch, I was so satisfied, I have to share it! Intent was not to share this batch and make one some other day with pretty pictures.... Yet, naans were so soft that I could not resist sharing the recipe.
How To Make Indian Naan Bread
1. Home ovens don't have that high heat which traditional Indian tandoor (clay oven) provides. So, in less heat, naan looses it's moisture very quickly.
First time, I baked no-yeast naans. No-yeast naans had eggs in it and they came out way better, soft and lite with crusty exterior than my earlier tries. Then it clicked me, I have to compensate for the lose of moisture from naans. I tried one single trusty ingredient and a basic technique and it worked!
Honestly, my baked naans have started coming out so good and soft that I don't plan to perch on kitchen stove for cooking naan this whole summer! My apartment gets too hot to stand in kitchen anyways, so I'm so loving'em.
Naan Bread (baked 3 Ways)
Plus, baked naans are so so quick to cook! I mean, really, after I mix the dough and set aside for rising. No lengthy rising, just 1 hour that too without any kneading.... just a few strokes to make dough soft... covered and left on kitchen counter.
Once dough has risen, I roll dough on a flour dusted board into a big large sheet as if getting ready to make doughnuts/cookies. No kidding! then I use 3.5 cookie cutter or large bowl and cut out rounds from the rolled dough. I slightly stretch the cut out naan with hand and place on baking sheet.
Good question! Actually, naans have tendency to puff up in heat which separates the naan into two thin layers that become crisp like chips in heat... more like baked naan chips We certainly not serving those with curry! :) Isn't it? piercing the naan with fork does not let naan puff-up and keeps the moisture sealed-in which results in soft naans.

I bet, you wondering what was the secret ingredient. Well, that ingredient is so so handy that it is already used in cooking naans. I just added it in a different way. Okay, no more guesses!
This simple humble ingredient when mixed into the naan dough will provide soft moisture to naan bread making it lite like air when it comes out of everyday home oven. And kitchen!! It will smell like an Indian takeout is just ready to devour!
4. Petite size of these naans also make'em perfect to make sandwiches or veggie burgers, if you please! Or how about Naan Pizza!? yum!

There is no Indian bread that is more famous than naan. They are perfect for mopping up the gravy in Indian curries or other dishes. Naan is traditionally cooked in a tandoor or earthen oven, but can also be made in your oven at home. Serve this delicious bread hot, with popular dishes like tandoori chicken or kebabs of different kinds.
The naan was easy and tasty. I usually make a skillet naan and cook them one at a time, so I was happy to cut down on prep time with this oven-baked version. It wasn't as soft and puffy as a skillet naan bread but the flavor was excellent. One batch took about 18 minutes. —Diana Rattray
Easy Homemade Naan Bread
Naan bread is usually made with milk or yogurt along with butter and sometimes eggs, making it softer than pita bread. Pita is usually made with a much simpler formula: flour, water, yeast, and salt. Pita also has a pocket when baked, while naan has some bubbles but no pocket.
Prepare the dough and roll it as directed in the recipe; brush with ghee and sprinkle with nigella seeds. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brush it lightly with oil (or ghee). Add one naan and cook for about 30 to 40 seconds. Flip it and cook for another 10 to 15 seconds. Repeat with the remaining dough.
