They are easy to freeze if you want to make a big batch of them and can be frozen with or without the garlic oil. It is just a matter of warming the garlic naan bread through when you need one.

Now, I don't own a griddle pan (yet) but if I did I am sure that these naans may be even easier to make.

However, I make these using a good quality non stick pan, like this Le Crueset one, and they turn out really well.

If you use a frying pan to make these naan breads you do need to keep an eye on them to make sure the breads don't char too much on the bottom.

The naans should puff up a bit when cooking and these are the bits that you want to char a little for an authentic looking and tasting naan bread.

One word of warning! When you flip the naan bread onto the garlic oil side, only do this for a matter of seconds .... just enough to stick the garlic to the bread.

On the same note, if you are making a big batch of garlic naans, clean the pan of any stuck on garlic between each naan.

Bits of garlic can stick to the pan and you really don't want that burnt garlic taste to ruin your naan bread.

Ingredient Air Fryer Naan Bread

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.

Easy

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.

Easy Yogurt Flatbreads Recipe

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.

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.

Whole Wheat Naan Bread

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.

I know this will be a commonly asked question if you are following Slimming Eats because oats a healthy extra b choice.

Garlic

But unfortunately oats will not work in this recipe. Not unless you are making them as per my Ultimate Oat Pizza Crust recipe.

Quick Sourdough Discard Naan (vegan)

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.

Naan is a simple flatbread, similar to pita bread or even tortillas. It’s part of traditional Indian cuisine and is usually made in a clay oven called a tandoor. The dough is kneaded, then shaped, and finally slapped onto the sides of the hot tandoor. They bake up crunchy on the bottom and bubbly on top. They are lightly browned, slightly charred, and utterly delicious!

Simple, Yeasted Homemade Naan

Pita bread is usually a very basic recipe using just flour, water, yeast, oil, and salt. But Naan bread is enriched with yogurt and sometimes butter and eggs. The result is flavorful and chewy, perfect for eating plain or with an entree.

Although naan are good with just about anything, from soups to hummus to salads, I like to serve mine with this Mulligatawny Stew or with this Sheet Pan Tandoori Chicken.
