Light and Puffy Homemade Naan Bread in a Pan
I wanted to make naan that not only went well with curry, but could be enjoyed for breakfast if any were left over. Since they can be cooked in a frying pan and will puff up nicely, they might be easier than regular rolls or loaves of bread!
Since the dough continues to rise with residual heat after it's microwaved, put it in a warm place if possible. The dough will puff up when it's cooked.
Since I added yogurt to the dough, it has a lightly tart, but easy-to-eat flavor. If you use milk only it will have a gentle creamy flavor. I recommend that too. For 4 pieces. Recipe by yaburie

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Mix the milk and yogurt together, and microwave for 1 minute at 500 W. (If you don't have any yogurt, the naan will also taste good made with 150 ml of milk.)
- 2
Put the rest of the ingredients except for the dusting flour in a bowl and mix with a spatula until it forms a ball of dough. Take it out of the bowl onto a floured work surface and knead with your hands.
- 3
Keep kneading for 5 to 10 minutes until the dough is stretchy and shiny.
- 4
Put the dough in a heatproof bowl, cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 1 minute at 200 W. Leave the bowl in a warm place for 20 minutes.
- 5
When the dough had doubled in volume, take it out of the bowl and divide into 4 portions. Round off each portion, cover with plastic wrap and rest for 5 minutes.
- 6
Use your palms to form each piece of dough into a naan shape. Place on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 1 minute at 200 W. Leave for 10 minutes.
- 7
Heat up a frying pan, and cook each piece of naan over low heat. Press down with your fingers to neaten out the dough, cover with a lid and cook for 2 minutes. Be careful not to let it burn!
- 8
When one side is browned turn it over, put the lid back on and cook for another 1-2 minutes. When both sides are nicely browned it's done!

Here's how it looks from the side. It's light and puffy. It goes well with curry of course. I also recommend eating it simply with butter and honey.

Here I made 2 large and 4 small naan with the same amount of dough. The small ones are for eating at breakfast or as snacks spread with jam or honey, or can be used for hamburgers too.

Naan made only with bread flour tends to be tough, and only with cake flour only is not chewy enough, so I wanted to make a personalized version. This is the absolutely best naan I've ever made! Eat with keema curry.If the dough sticks to your hands, dust with a little bread flour when forming the dough.When putting the dough in the frying pan, roll it out a bit while cooking.If you use a generous amount of olive oil, the naan will stay tender and delicious even after time!

Air Fryer Naan / Flat Bread Air Fryer Naan / Flat Bread
I love Naan especially fresh and hot. It is surprising easy to do in your air fryer and because you are using an air fryer, you don't get any smoke like you do when you use a cast iron pan.This recipe is super flexible. You can use different sweeteners though they need to be sugar in nature for the yeast to work. As well, you can mix in things like dried fruit just before you let the dough prove; make sure your mix ins don't contain salt or too much moisture.If you want something that is whole wheat based, you can swap 2 cups of flour for it.If you feel like adding some seasoning to the rolled out dough before you air fry it, that works too. Just remember that seasoning in the air fryer goes a long ways

Easy & Authentic Naan Bread Easy & Authentic Naan Bread
I wanted to make freshly cooked naan at home, so I cam up with this recipe.Please be sure to bake the naan on the at a high temperature. It will be nicely browned, as delicious as authentic Indian naan is. For the all purpose flour, use Lys d'Or or a flour that is specifically meant for French-style bread. If you can't get all purpose flour, use half each of cake and bread flours.I added baking powder to the recipe to improve it. If you don't have any though, you can just omit it.

Super Easy, No-Rising Naan Bread Super Easy, No-Rising Naan Bread
I love naan that's chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside, but proofing bread is such a hassle.I experimented with many different unleavened bread recipes before settling on this one.No need to grease the pan if using a non-stick frying pan.Grease the pan with a minimal amount of oil. Use your fingers or a paper towel to spread it thinly. (If you use too much oil, the naan won't have that crisp "naan-like" finish.) Recipe by Rurumiko -
