Cooking Instructions
- 1
Bloom yeast: Mix yeast with warm water and sugar in a small bowl. Cover with cling wrap, leave for 10 minutes until foamy.
- 2
Egg and milk: Whisk milk and egg together.
- 3
Add wet ingredients: Make a well in the flour, add yeast mixture, and butter and egg mixture. Mix together. Once the flour is mostly incorporated, switch to your hands and bring it together into a ball.
- 4
Proof 1: Cover the bowl with cling-wrap, then leave in a warm place for 1 – 1.5 hrs until it doubles in size.
- 5
Cut into 6 pieces: Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 6 equal pieces, then shape into balls into spheres with a smooth surface by stretching the surface and tucking it under.
Proof 2: Place balls on a lightly-floured tray or plate. Sprinkle lightly with flour, cover loosely with a lightweight tea towel. Put in a warm place to rise for 15 minutes until it increases in size by about 50%.
- 6
Roll out: Place a round on a lightly-floured work surface, flatten with your hand. Roll out into 3 – 4mm / 0.12 – 0.16"thick rounds (about 16cm / 6.5" wide).
- 7
Heat skillet: Rub a cast iron skillet with a very light coat of oil using 1/2 tsp oil on a paper towl (unless already well seasoned). Set over high heat until you see wisps of smoke.
Cook naan: Place a naan dough in the skillet and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until the underside is deep golden / slightly charred – the surface should get bubbly. Flip then cook the other side for 1 minute until the bubbles become deep golden brown.
- 8
Finishing: Brush freshly cooked naan with melted butter or ghee (or garlic butter) Serve hot!

Herb Naan Bread Herb Naan Bread
I learned how to make my own naan about a year ago. I loved the fresh flavor and ease of making it at home. Also loving Greek food and tzatziki sauce I thought to combine the flavors. Oh so yummy! Serve this as a bread on the side, place in grilled meats and sauces and wrap or enjoy in so many ways. Building flavors starts here.

My Favorite Cheese Naan My Favorite Cheese Naan
This is the cheese naan that I always order when I go to an Indian curry restaurant. Actually I want to go to the restaurant just to eat the naan on it's own but I'd be too embarrassed so wondered if I could try making it at home. One of my friends who worked there told me their secret was to mix the cheese with sugar so I gave the recipe a go.Be patient when gathering the dough. It's a very soft dough so it's hard to gather up but don't lose hope! Recipe by Puchasuke

Fried Salted Naan Fried Salted Naan
You get naan in a store in a package and it's not like fresh naan. So I thought to myself I don't have an oven with open fire to throw raw naan on the side to cook. Since if I order it from the local restaurant by the time I get home with it to eat with soup, my special diet I have to be on. I just fry it. It went perfectly well with my soup!!! Success!!!

Basic Naan Basic Naan
There are a variety of ways to make naan - with baking powder or baking soda, adding eggs, etc. but I settled on this simple combination of ingredients using instant dried yeast. Since naan is made to eat with curry, there's not much need to season it. Since they're so plain, pretty much anyone will like these.Since there is no second proving, these can be made relatively quickly. There's no need for oil when baking. I recommend using a non-stick frying pan. Recipe by Yukiline -

My Family's Favourite Naan My Family's Favourite Naan
I used to go to a restaurant that specialised in curry, and the Indian chef made really great authentic Indian curry. The naan from that restaurant was amazing.Pan-fry the naan well until until it changes colour from white to cream. It will make the naan fluffy.Stretching out the dough by hand instead of using a rolling pin makes the surface bumpy, and looks more like authentic naan.Authentic naan for curry is usually brushed with simple syrup, and goes well with spicy curry.

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.

In our home, we occasionally make naan to eat with curry. After making them many times, I settled on this recipe since it has a flavor and texture that my family loves.In Step 6, instead of using a rolling pin, you can just stretch out the dough with your hands. In Step 7, adjust the cooking time depending on your stove and frying pan. I put a thin film of oil in the pan, but you can omit the oil if you prefer. Recipe by caramel-cookie -
Sourdough Uyghur naan Sourdough Uyghur naan
I learnt this recipe from a documentary video talks about Uyghur naan. Although there are hundreds of naan styles, the most common ingredients for the dough could be as simple as white flour, water, salt and yeast. Typically cumin seeds, Onion and yogurt are added as well. After 1st rise, the dough is usually shape into a flat round piece with center very thin and a thick rim. Right before baking naan in a brick tandoor, wet the surface and dip with some minced onion or sesame seeds on top. Using a very special needle tool stamp lots of holes in the center to avoid inflation. This is also the unique feature of Uyghur naan. I turn yeast rising naan into sourdough by adding a substantial amount of sourdough starter and reducing the yeast to the minimal.
