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:
Add the yeast and 1 tsp sugar to the warm water and leave until frothy.
Mix the flour, 1 tsp sugar, black onion seeds, coriander, salt and baking
powder in a bowl
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
Cover with a damp tea towel and leave in a warm place to rise until
doubled in size
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
Dry fry the naan in a hot pan (without oil) until the surface bubbles,
then flip over and cook until lightly browned
Keep warm in the oven on a low heat until ready to serve
