Naan Bread

I am a bread fiend! I love bread! Any type of bread! White bread, granary bread, thick bread, thin bread, toasted bread, crispy bread and naan bread.

I created this recipe a while ago, and thought I would share it today – rather than not share a recipe at all!

I have been busy and I almost… I said ‘almost’ forgot it was blog day! Haha – of course I would never forget that! What I did do though, was spend about 3 hours looking for a particular set of photos for another recipe, which as yet, I am unable to find! I promise when I find the photos George, I will post the tofu recipe for you! For now though, it is bread!

Gather
  • 300 g plain flour
  • 7 g yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 6 g salt
  • 100 g plain yogurt (I used Alpro plain)
  • 30-50 ml milk (I used unsweetened Oat)
  • 50 ml boiling water
  • *optional melted butter and fresh coriander (to serve)
  • *optional kulonji (nigella/onion) or sesame seeds
Prepare
  1. Mix flour with yeast, sugar and salt.

  2. Add yogurt, milk and water (you might not need all the milk) and mix by hand. The dough should be sticky.

  3. Knead for 10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

  4. Put in bowl, cover with a towel and leave for 1 hour until doubled in size.

  5. Divide into 8 pieces and roll each one out (or shape by hand) into a teardrop shape.

  6. Heat a hot pan (cast iron is best) and lay a piece of dough on it. The dough should puff up. Carefully turn it over and cook on the other side.

  7. Remove and repeat with the remaining dough. Brush with melted butter if desired and sprinkle with fresh coriander, kulonji or sesame seeds (or all three)!

  8. Serve whilst still warm.

  9. Enjoy!
