Ingredients
To make approximately 4 large naan breads:
Procedure
- Knead the dough by combining all the ingredients and sufficient water.
- Wrap the dough in a damp muslin cloth and leave it to rise for 2-3 hours.
- Divide the dough into small balls.
- Roll out the balls in oblong or round shape with a rolling pin or by slapping and stretching with your hands.
- Smear the surface with water and bake in a tandoor or preheated oven (as hot as your oven will go).
- The naans should puff up a little, and be ready to remove from the oven in 4 to 5 minutes.
- Brush the naan with butter. Serve hot.
Notes, tips and variations
- To add an extra crispy finish, pop the baked naans under a preheated grill for 30 seconds before brushing with butter and serving.
- To add extra flavour, consider adding finely chopped garlic and coriander to the butter you brush over your cooked naan breads. Then return them to the oven (or place under a grill) for a short time to cook the garlic.
