About the Recipe

Fluffy, soft naan bread, a delicious accompaniment to our Green Gram Curry!

Ingredients

7g dried yeast

2 tsp sugar

350g white bread flour

1 tsp baking powder

25g melted butter

150ml natural yoghurt

1 tbsp black onion / nigella seeds

1 tbsp dried coriander leaf

1/2 tsp salt

125ml warm water

Preparation

Use the dough setting on your bread machine (ensuring the water goes in

first and the yeast last) or mix by hand as follows:


  1. Add the yeast and 1 tsp sugar to the warm water and leave until frothy.

  2. Mix the flour, 1 tsp sugar, black onion seeds, coriander, salt and baking

    powder in a bowl

  3. Add the melted butter, yoghurt and yeast mixture, stir until combined

    then knead for 10 minutes. The dough should be soft but not wet—add

    a small amount of flour if too sticky

  4. Cover with a damp tea towel and leave in a warm place to rise until

    doubled in size

  5. Divide into 8 portions. On a lightly floured surface, flatten/shape as

    required. If rolling out, take care not to over-roll or your bread will not

    be light and fluffy

  6. Dry fry the naan in a hot pan (without oil) until the surface bubbles,

    then flip over and cook until lightly browned

  7. Keep warm in the oven on a low heat until ready to serve
