Naan has its roots in the Indian subcontinent, dating back to the Mughal era. Traditionally, it was baked in a tandoor, giving it a unique texture and flavor. Naan is often served with rich curries and is a staple in Indian cuisine, symbolizing hospitality and abundance. Today, it has gained popularity worldwide, with various adaptations like garlic naan and stuffed naan, making it a beloved bread in many cultures.

1

Begin by using maida flour, which is finely milled and has a higher protein content.

2

Fit the stand mixer with a dough hook and combine yeast, sugar, and warm water in the mixer bowl; let it mix until frothy.

3

Add the maida flour to the mixer bowl and mix until a dough forms, about five minutes.

4

Check the dough; it should be smooth and stretchy without breaking.

5

If kneading by hand, sprinkle maida flour on the surface and knead the dough for about five to seven minutes until stretchy.

6

Shape the dough into a ball and prepare to rise it in an Instant Pot.

7

Spray the inside of the Instant Pot with cooking spray, place the dough top-side down, and flip it over to grease both sides.

8

Cover the Instant Pot with the lid but do not seal it; let it rise on the yogurt setting for a warm environment.

9

Punch down the risen dough to deflate it and lightly flour the surface.

10

Divide the dough into eight equal portions using a bench scraper or knife.

11

Shape each portion into a ball and let them relax for about five minutes before rolling out.

12

Roll each ball into an oval shape about 10 by 6 inches, using flour to prevent sticking.

13

Brush the rolled-out dough with a mixture of butter, olive oil, and ghee.

14

Sprinkle nigella seeds and black sesame seeds on top, pressing them gently to stick.

15

Cook the naan on a hot surface; it takes about two minutes on the first side and one minute on the second side.

16

Flip the naan when bubbles start to form on the top, and check for browning spots to ensure it’s cooked through.
