Naan

This naan is from the New Vegetarian Epicure. With just four ingredients and no yeast, it is simple to mix up, but it is so soft and flavorful I figured I'd add it to the many recipes already posted. Prep time does not include 1 hour of "resting."

  1. turned out really well, used half whole wheat flour and half white. found that the ones that were rolled thinner puffed up better. thanks!
     
  2. Beware making these--you will gobble them all up, make more, and eat those too. These are SO good. Easy to make, too, though a little time consuming. I flatten mine out in a tortilla press. I found the flatter, the better. Getting them paper thin to the point of nearly tearing gave them those puffy little pockets like restaurant naan. I've used store-bought yogurt as well as homemade nonfat yogurt, and both work well.
     
  3. I used whole wheat pastry flour and nonfat plain yogurt. I also added two teaspoons of turmeric for color and flavor, divided the dough into 16 small rounds, and brushed the finished product with melted garlic butter and Indian spices. They were amazing! Chewy, crisp, light, and puffy.
     
  4. This recipe is so good and so simple. If I don't want to use the oven, I have used a frying pan to cook both sides and it turns out just fine. I even use this bread instead of hamburger buns. It tastes especially good with Curried Pork Burgers #431629
     
  5. This recipe is awesome!! For those who commented that this naan is not as good as their fav restaurant, I am sorry. This is every bit as good if made according to the specific instructions. When rolled out very thin, they puff up and get nice and brown. I did brush with the melted butter and that is even better!! Next time I will try adding some whole wheat flour just to see if the end result is just as good but healthier.
