Naan is a leavened, oven-baked flatbread that can also be pan fried and is most popular in Indian cuisines. I have always wanted to try to make Indian food because they are so delicious and authentic. So I searched for the simplest O could find and settled on Naan Bread. Naan is a popular Indian flat bread that is usually eaten with curries, vegetables or even sauces like Raita. I loved how they turned out being my first time making them. Hope you enjoy my Butter Naan recipe!

Ingredients

45 minutes
3 servings
  1. 3 TablespoonsMelted Butter
  2. 2 1/2 CupsAll Purpose Flour
  3. 1 TeaspoonInstant Dry Yeast
  4. 1/2 CupWarm Water (if using active dry yeast)
  5. 1/2 CupYogurt
  6. 1 TablespoonSugar
  7. 2 TablespoonsVegetable Oil
  8. 4Serves
  9. 1hr Prep and cooking time

Cooking Instructions

45 minutes
  1. 1

    Pour flour, sugar and the instant dry yeast into a large bowl. (If using active dry yeast, put the yeast in a bowl with the water and let it sit until it froths up)

  2. 2

    Make a hole in the center of the flour, sugar and yeast mixture. Add the melted butter and yogurt

  3. 3

    Start mixing with a spoon until the dry and wet ingredients start to combine. Use your hand to start kneading the dough that will now start to come together

  4. 4

    Knead the dough until you get a smooth mixture. This takes kneading for ten minutes

  5. 5

    Put the dough in an oiled bowl and cover let it rest for 1 hour

  6. 6

    The dough will have doubled in size after one hour. Punch it down and place on a lightly floured surface

  7. 7

    Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Cover with a kitchen towel to keep the dough from drying out as you begin the process of rolling out

  8. 8

    Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape or in any shape that you like. Naans are never really perfectly shaped like chapati. I like to give them that authentic rectangular like shape

  9. 9

    Heat a heavy non stick pan or skillet. Place the rolled out dough on the pan and let it cook until you see bubbles start to form or it puffs up

  10. 10

    Flip the Naan and smear butter on the cooked side. You can use Ghee to spread on your Naan

  11. 11

    Flip the second side, smear with butter and immediately remove from the pan. Repeat procedure until you are done with all 8 Naan

  12. 12

    Cover with kitchen towel to keep warm. Sprinkle with Dhania (cilantro) before serving

  13. 13

    How yummy, buttery, pillowy soft is that Naan? I could eat all 8 Naan in one sitting. D-DELICIOUS!!
