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.

1

Dissolve 1 teaspoon of maple syrup in warm water that is hot but not boiling.

2

Check the temperature of the water by dipping a finger in; it should feel warm but not burn.

3

Cover the mixture and let it sit until the yeast is activated and bubbly, about 10 minutes.

4

In a bowl, mix 3/4 cup of cassava flour, 1/4 cup of plantain flour, and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt.

5

Add the activated yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well.

6

Gradually add 3/4 cup of warm water in batches, mixing until the dough is sticky.

7

Let the dough rest for 1.5 to 2 hours, covered, until it appears soft and slightly fermented.

8

Knead in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until the dough is smooth, adding more oil if needed.

9

Divide the dough into 8 to 10 balls.

10

Press each ball into a round shape using parchment paper.

11

Heat a pan and slide the naan onto it, cooking for about 2 minutes on each side.

12

Brush olive oil on top of the naan while cooking, and press down with a spatula for even cooking.

13

If the first side is not well done, flip it back over and cook again until ready.

14

For baking, place two naans on a tray and bake at 375°F for about 12 minutes.

15

Brush the tops with oil after the first baking, then return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.

16

For a focaccia-style bread, use a small loaf pan, press the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness, and brush with olive oil.

17

Bake the focaccia for 20-25 minutes until done.
