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.

Chewy Naan with Homemade Yeast Chewy Naan with Homemade Yeast
I generally make naan with dry yeast, but this time, I made it with the last bit of my homemade yeast.These are easy to make since they don't need a second proving. There's no need for them to rise much, so you can make them with a small amount of yeast. Since the dough has little moisture, like bagel dough, it's a bit difficult to knead. For those who like soft naan, add more water. Recipe by kazz72

Kulcha Naan/ Indian flat bread 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

Delicious Naan Bread 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!
