Bread Machine Naan

Easy and tasty naan.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup – Water (warm)
  • 1 Cup – Plain Yogurt –– Use unflavored plain yogurt. (not Greek)
  • 3 Tablespoons – Unsalted Butter (softened) – or a neutral flavored vegetable oil.
  • 3 1/2 Cups (420g) – All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon – White Granulated Sugar
  • 1 1/2 (7.5g) Tsp. – Salt
  • 1 1/2 Tsp. (5g) – Bread Machine Yeast (Instant Yeast) – 

Directions

  1. Add the ingredients in the order listed.
  2. Set the course to Dough setting and press the start button.
  3. Sprinkle some flour on the cutting board (before you pour out the naan dough) in order to avoid the naan dough sticking to the cutting board.
  4. When the machine has finished, pour the naan dough onto a cutting board. Divide & shape the naan dough into fist-sized balls. You should be able to make roughly 8-10 balls of dough.
  5. Sprinkle a little flour on the balls to prevent sticking.
  6. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough balls flat that are roughly 1/8 to 1/6 inch thick.
  7. Heat a frying pan with low/medium heat and melt a thin tab of butter on the frying pan.
  8. Place the flattened naan dough on top of the melted butter in the frying pan.
  9. Flip the naan frequently with a spatula in order to brown the naan evenly (and avoid burning the naan). The frying should only take 1-3 minutes per naan (depending on the level of heat used).
  10. Add more butter to the frying pan when you fry each new naan.
  11. Place the naan on a wire cooling rack for a minute to cool down slightly.
