Description
Delicious and fluffy homemade naan bread perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup yogurt
- ¼ cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or olive oil)
- as needed melted butter for brushing (Use halal-certified butter.)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Give it a good whisk to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- Add the yogurt and warm water to the flour mixture. Mix with your hands or a spoon until the dough starts to come together.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. If it’s too sticky, add a bit more flour.
- Form the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rest for about 20 minutes.
- After resting, divide the dough into equal portions (about 6-8). Dust each piece with flour and roll it out into an oval or tear-drop shape, about ¼ inch thick.
- Heat a skillet or tandoor over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the naan in the skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form and the bottom is golden brown.
- Flip and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from the skillet and immediately brush the naan with melted butter for flavor.
- Enjoy your homemade naan bread fresh out of the skillet or keep it warm in a towel until ready to serve!
Notes
- This naan bread is best served fresh.
- Make sure to use halal-certified butter for brushing.
