I generally make naan with dry yeast, but this time, I made it with the last bit of my homemade yeast.

These are easy to make since they don't need a second proving. There's no need for them to rise much, so you can make them with a small amount of yeast. Since the dough has little moisture, like bagel dough, it's a bit difficult to knead. For those who like soft naan, add more water. Recipe by kazz72

Steps

1

Combine the flour, salt, honey and starter dough in a bowl, and lightly mix.
2

Add water, briskly knead together into an even dough, add the olive oil and yogurt, then knead again.
3

After kneading for about 10 minutes (it should become as firm as your earlobe), form a ball, then wrap in plastic to prevent drying and allow it to rise for a first proving.
4

It should rise to about 2 to 3 times its original size.
5

Punch down the dough, divide into 6 portions, then form into balls.
6

Let sit for 20 minutes, stretch into flat teardrop shapes, and bake both sides in a frying pan with butter until golden brown.
7

If baking in an oven, preheat to the highest heat, then bake for about 8 to 10 minutes (while checking on them from time to time.)

Serve with curry!
