This Indian flat bread is great on its own or with a meal. I serve it with curry, salad or soup.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour shopping list
- 1 teaspoon yeast (Dry) shopping list
- 1 teaspoon sugar shopping list
- 1 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 4 tablespoons ghee or melted butter shopping list
- 2 tablespoons yoghurt shopping list
- 2/3 cup water shopping list
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds shopping list
How to make it
- Mix water with the yeast and sugar until the yeast is dissolves.
- Sift flour and salt together into a bowl and add the yeast mixture, half of the ghee and the yogurt. Mix to forma soft dough, then knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a large greased bowl, cover and let stand in a warm place for 1 hour or until the dough doubles in size.
- Punch down the dough and knead for 5 minutes. Divide dough into lemon sized balls
- Flatten the dough using a rolling pin, or by hand (I prefer the second method, for the very rustic look it provides).
- Top with sesame seeds or any other topping of your choice.
- Brush grill pan with oil, wipe it with a piece of cloth.
- Grill Naan over a medium heat until unevenly browned, brushing with ghee before turning.
- Brown unevenly on second side, remove from heat and serve warm.
- I add minced garlic to my dough (I've added garlic powder in a pinch) to make garlic naan.

I had a chance to watch this bread being made at an Indian Restaurant I was amazed by the method used in the old style gas ovens.
Thank you for posting this wonderful recipe.
