Indian Naan Bread: Add Toppings or Serve Plain
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
I usually buy naan, but I made it this time to go with a curry.
When I ate the freshly baked naan that was topped with aromatic cumin seeds and coriander, I was amazed at how easy, delicious and economical it was. It made me think I should make it every time instead of buying it.
The dry yeast is active if it foams after adding the lukewarm water.
If using fresh coriander leaves, you can knead it into the dougn in steps 4-5; it's delicious and I recommend it.
Please adjust the amount of liquid if needed depending on the environment, temperature and so on. For 3 naan. Recipe by Plabar

- 1
Mix the dry yeast into water which is a bit hotter than body temperature. Add the sugar, mix over a pan of hot water to dissolve, and leave in a warm place.
- 2
In the meantime, mix the bread flour, salt and baking powder together. You don't have to sift them, but you can if you want to.
- 3
Add the yogurt and oil to the flours and mix lightly. Check if the water with the dry yeast is foamy.
- 4
Add the dry yeast liquid to the bowl and knead until the dough is smooth and no longer sticks to your hands. This takes a bit less than 10 minutes.
- 5
Form the dough into a ball. Oil your hands and rub the oil on the surface of the dough. Leave to rise for 30 minutes to an hour in a warm place.
- 6
While the dough is rising, you can make the curry, chop up the coriander leaves to top the naan and so on. Melt the butter, too.
- 7
When the dough is puffy and risen, divide it into 3 pieces. Flour a work surface. Roll out each piece of dough with a rolling pin.
- 8
Roll out the dough with a rolling pin, If the dough is too thin it will be tough, so make it about 1 cm or so thick. To make a plain naan, go on to Step 11.
- 9
Spread the melted butter over the surface of the dough with a spoon. Decide on your toppings. I recommend cumin seeds and fresh coriander leaves.
- 10
Add your chosen toppings/spices (I used coriander leaves this time) evenly over the surface. Press them in lightly.
- 11
Bake in a preheated toaster oven at 220°C for 3-4 minutes. Keep an eye on the toaster oven as you roll out the next piece of dough.
- 12
Done. Repeat steps 8 to 11 for all the pieces of dough. If you use an oven you can bake all 3 pieces at once, and it will be more naan-like.
- 13
The naan will puff up. You can also cook them in a non-stick frying pan.
- 14
For a plain naan, bake without adding melted butter. When the plain naan are baked, spread a little butter on them.
- 15
Naan with cumin seeds smells fantastic.

Easy Plain Naan Bread
Never made curry sauce or naan bread so gave both a go
Delicious Naan Bread
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! Recipe by kiyko-u
Puffy and Delicious Naan Bread
I've uploaded a recipe for keema curry to COOKPAD. I've always bought naan bread from a store to eat with keema curry, but recently, I wanted to try making my own naan. So, I adapted a pizza crust recipe I use often (I'll upload the recipe soon) to make this.This matches perfectly with, Keema Curry.If you make the curry while the naan bread dough is rising, it's efficient.If you wrap up the naan in plastic wrap and microwave it for 20 seconds to warm it up, it will be puffy and delicious. For 6 pieces. Recipe by takkytake
Naan Bread
I like to have Naan Bread with Indian Butter Chicken.
Kulcha Naan/ Indian flat bread
Naan is a leavened, oven-baked flatbread found in the cuisines mainly of India. It mostly consists of egg and milk products like yogurt. The egg brings crispiness to the naan while the yogurt helps in digestion of the gluten. It is generally prepared from wheat flour. However, spices are not used in naan. Spices are mostly used to make kulchas. Therefore, what I present here can better be called kulcha naan.#epicureanfeast #loveforfood #indianbread
Easy Homemade Naan Bread (Plain or with Basil)
I wanted to eat some naan, I adapted a recipe I'd written down from somwhere some time ago, to make a soft and light version that was to my taste, to get to this recipe.Be sure to knead the dough very well. It will stick to your hands at first, but will gradualy get easier to handle. Recipe by Mohehoppe
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.
Cheese Naan Bread
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
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. Recipe by douce_mika

Garlic Naan Bread
An Indian famous bread: the garlic flavour doubles your appetite. Try it alone or with your favorite dip.
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
Naan bread
I usually buy a container of this type of bread but I figured I would give it a go and try to make them myself and this is how they turned out they are a hundred times better than store bought.
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
Chewy and Light Naan Bread
I wanted to eat naan that's chewy and moist like the naan at Indian restaurants.By spreading the dough with oil, it becomes easier to flatten, and doesn't stick to your hands.Stretch the dough out in your hands, rather than rolling it outMake the dough bumpy rather than uniformly flat. Recipe by mirutann
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
Easy Bread Flour Naan in a Frying Pan
I usually buy frozen naan at an Indian grocery store, but I wanted to easily whip up a fresh batch so I made these.It seems like a pain to coat the bowl with oil, but if you do, the risen dough won't stick so don't omit this step. Recipe by estrella7
Easy Naan in a Bread Machine
I recreated the naan served at my favourite Indian restaurant. The menu says it is hand-stretched naan made with a generous amount of milk, so I included a lot of milk in this recipe.Keep an eye on it, or it will burn! It depends how strong the heat is, but it takes me 5-6 minutes to grill each naan. Recipe by Puriman

Quick Chewy Basic Naan in a Bread Maker
This is a recipe for naan that I serve with curry.If you don't have all purpose flour, you can use bread flour or 160 g of bread flour + 40 g of cake flour.If you cook them over high heat, they may burn on the out side while the inside remains uncooked. So, cook slowly over low-medium heat. Recipe by Natsumi
