  • Let the yeast mixture stand for 10 mins until frothy and bubbly.

Make the Dough

  • To the yeast mixture add the flour, salt and 2 tbsp of Olive oil.
  • Make a stick dough in your stand mixer or even in hands by adding warm water little by little.
  • Add the remaining olive oil to the dough, form a ball in the bowl by slightly greasing the dough and the sides of the bowl.
  • Close the bowl and let the dough rise for an hour until it has doubled in size.

Make the Naan Bread

  • Transfer the risen dough to a floured work surface. Cut them into 12 equal sized balls.
  • Roll each ball into an oval shaped naan. Dust flour as required to avoid stick dough.
  • Brush the top of the naan with water generously.
  • Heat a pan, and slap the naan water brushed side down onto the pan.
  • Let it cook 2-3 minutes until the bottom is cooked and bubbles are formed.
  • Flip the pan with the naan in it to cook the top side on the stove flame. OR use a tong, take out the half cooked naan and cook the top side on the open stove flame by holding it in the tongs.
  • Brush them with the garlic butter while it is still hot and serve hot with salads, curries etc.,

Notes

  1. Use full AP flour if you like. OR use fully wheat flour only if you like.
  2. Use any vegetable oil in place of Olive oil.
  3. Skip the garlic butter to make plain naan.
