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

Steps

1

Put the bread flour, cake flour, yeast, granulated sugar and salt (keep it away from the yeast) in a bowl. Pour the lukewarm water over the yeast.
2

Knead for a little while and add the vegetable oil. Keep kneading for 10 minutes. Add the grated cheese, and knead for another 5 minutes.
3

Form into a smooth ball, seams down in a lightly oiled bowl, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a tightly wrung moistened kitchen towel.
4

Use the oven's dough-rising setting or put the bowl in a warm place, and let it rise for 40 to 60 minutes.
5

When the dough has doubled in volume, and you've poked your finger in the middle, deflate it lightly. Divide into 4, round off each portion and rest for 10 minutes.
6

Form the dough into teardrops, and flatten with a rolling pin or stretch with your hands.
7

Put the naan in a heated frying pan, cover with a lid and cook for 6 to 8 minutes over low heat. Flip the naan over and cook on the other side for 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat the same steps with the remaining portions.
8

Serve freshly cooked naan with curry, or eat on its own. If it gets cold, reheat it in a toaster oven to make it crispy-light again.
