Naan 101: Your Guide To Perfectly Fluffy Homemade Naan!
Recipe Information
Naan
Cultural Context
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.
all-purpose flour
🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour
💰Cheaper: self-rising flour

yogurt
🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt
💰Cheaper: sour cream

milk
🥗Healthier: almond milk
💰Cheaper: water
Almond milk is lower in calories.
Add 1/3 cup of whole milk and 1/3 cup of Greek yogurt to a bowl, heating in the microwave for 15-20 second intervals until warm (100-110°F).
Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast to the bowl, mix, and let the yeast proof for 5-10 minutes until bubbly.
Prepare a flax egg by combining 1 tablespoon of ground flax seed with 2.5 tablespoons of water; add this to the yeast mixture along with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and mix to combine.
Add 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt to the mixture, stirring until it starts to come together for kneading.
Knead the dough by hand for about 8 minutes, adding another 1/4 cup of flour or up to 1/2 cup as needed to avoid stickiness.
Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough ball inside, cover with plastic wrap or a towel, and let it rise for 1 hour (or 30-45 minutes for a denser naan).
After rising, divide the dough into six even pieces and flatten each piece using a rolling pin into oval or triangle shapes, about 1/4 inch thick.
Heat a 12-inch cast iron pan to medium heat, add a thin coating of oil, and once shimmering, add the rolled-out naan piece.
Cook the first side for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on top, then flip and cook the other side for about 1 minute until done.
Continue rolling and cooking each naan piece until all are done, serving warm or keeping them on a baking sheet in a warm oven (170°F).
Avoid leaving naan in the warm oven for too long to prevent it from becoming too crispy.
