Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 300 g plain flour plus dusting
  • 1 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 0.75 tsp salt
  • 80 g plain yogurt
  • 120 ml warm water not hot
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 30 g butter melted
  • 3 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 2 tbsp coriander leaves chopped

Method
 

  1. Make dough
    Mix flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Add yogurt, water and oil. Knead 8 minutes until soft and elastic, adding a little flour only if necessary.
  2. Rise
    Cover and leave in a warm place about 90 minutes until doubled.
  3. Shape
    Divide into 6 balls. Rest 10 minutes, then roll into ovals about 4 mm thick.
  4. Cook
    Heat a heavy dry skillet until very hot. Cook each naan 1–2 minutes until bubbles form, flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  5. Finish
    Warm butter with garlic for 30 seconds without browning. Brush over hot naan and sprinkle coriander.

Notes

Keep cooked breads covered in a clean cloth. Freeze cooled naan in layers and reheat in a hot pan.
