Naan Bread

Cultural Context

Naan bread has its roots in South Asian cuisine, traditionally baked in a tandoor, a clay oven that imparts a unique flavor and texture. It is a staple in Indian households and is often served with rich curries and grilled meats, symbolizing hospitality and communal dining. Today, naan has gained global popularity, with various adaptations, including stuffed versions and whole grain alternatives, enjoyed in many cultures around the world.

1

Start with 1 and 3/4 cups of self-rising flour.

2

Measure out 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt in the same measuring cup to limit dishes.

3

Add a pinch of salt to the flour.

4

Mix the flour and yogurt together using hands and a spoon.

If the mixture is too dry, add 2 tablespoons of yogurt, then a third tablespoon, adjusting until the dough resembles play-doh.

6

Knead the dough for about 3 minutes until well combined.

7

Pinch off a ball of dough slightly larger than a golf ball.

8

Roll the dough ball out to about 1/4 inch thick, shaping it into an oblong form.

9

Preheat the griddle to low to medium-low, aiming for a temperature between 350 to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

10

Add a generous amount of oil to the griddle and spread it around.

11

Place the rolled-out naan onto the oiled griddle, ensuring to add more oil if needed for browning.

Cook the naan until bubbles form on the surface, indicating it's time to flip them.

Flip the naan to cook the other side until brown spots appear.
