Bread Machine Naan

I had to register here at Food.com just so I could rate this recipe!! I've looked and looked for a great tasting, easy recipe to make Indian bread and I have finally found it. They came out of oven fluffy and soft. My family loved them with the vegetable curry I made and were talking about how they can be used for sandwiches as well. Will definitely be making these over and over again!! (oops! I forgot to mention that I weighed my flour using 11 oz. of white unbleached and 5 oz of whole wheat to make it healthier).

Good recipe, naan are pretty versatile, I used leftovers as crusts for my kids to make their own pizzas. They store well in a ziploc in the fridge. I used about 3 1/2 - 4 cups flour, just started with 3 and added more after a few minutes in the machine. I did brush a few with melted butter after baking and sprinkled with garlic salt.

This naan was delicious, and puffed beautifully on a pizza stone in the top of the oven. I used bread flour and added some vital wheat gluten. I also used 4 T of ghee (clarified butter) instead of the olive oil, and omitted the egg. Next time I think I'll increase the salt to 1 1/2 tsp, but otherwise no complaints on flavor. I set my oven to 500 degrees F and preheated it for about an hour with the pizza stone inside. I used just 1 tsp of sugar to feed the yeast (sugar's not currently in the ingredient list), and I added the yeast during step 1 (the instructions don't specify). Hot out of the oven, I wrapped them in a damp towel to get them nice and soft. DH loved these and so did I (would give it a 5-star rating if the ingredients and instructions had been complete).

The nan turned out good, but only after I had to play around with adding flour. All the ingrediens are listed as tsp. Tbsp. or cups, except for the flour which is listed as 1 pound... My bread machine always seeems to make great dough, but this dough came out very sticky and gooey. I had to turn the dough out on a board and add quite a bit more flour and knead it in. But, in the end, I got it to work. I'll try to quantify the flour into cup measurements the next time. I hand kneaded in minced garlic and cumin to the dough before placing it in oven.

Great recipe - turned out excellent Naans first time in my new Tandoor! The only changes I made were to use Strong White Flour, and I also added some Nigella Seeds & Sesame Seeds. Brilliant.

A real keeper!!! I made this recipe as is. It was wonderful and easy. It came out perfect using my breadmaker. I used a pizza stone and the naan puffed up and browned perfectly. I did not brush the melted butter on before serving. It was so delicious that I did not need it.

Good, I think I will need to roll them out a little thinner as they were pretty thick when they cooked up, but I thought the flavor was good. The bread machine made it super easy, thanks!

Great Naan!! I made it exactly as suggested, but as I dont have a baking stone, used the hot plate of our BBQ to cook them. Turned out great. The kids love them and take them to school and work for a snack. We have made the naan a few times and each time is perfect. As an alternative, they taste great if you spread lightly with a thin layer of minced garlic before cooking. They freeze well too. Thanks.

Tasted great... not exactly like what you get at the restaurants - probably due to the lack of tandoor crisping, but a really good choice for home cooking.

I use to have to order my naan from a Indian resturant when making indian food at home. This recipe came out PERFECT!!! It made 8 naan for me and could make more if you make them smaller. They also freeze well.

I made this on my BBQ grill and it was great. I used the recommended ingredients but did the prep a little different. Since my bread machine has a warming cycle, I layered all the wet ingredients first then the dry ingredients with the yeast on the very top. Once it was done I made the ovals as directed and here is the twist. I put an extra heavy cookie sheet on my BBQ grill heated it up to 500 degrees and cooked the bread on the cookie sheet (with the cover closed). I flipped it over for a few seconds at the end to brown the top. It tasted exactly like the real thing. Thanks for the recipe.

Excellant naan. I was worried about this recipe at first because it was very different from other naan recipes I found on line, so I made this recipe and another on the same day. This one was heads above the other recipe. The texture, color, and taste was way more authentic than the other recipe. I will definitely use this recipe again next time it's Indian night for dinner!! I din't have a pizza stone, so I actually baked them on cast iron skillets turned upside down in my oven. It worked out great. Thanks for the great recipe!

I enjoyed making this type of bread for the first time. I did increase the salt by 1/2t as another reviewer suggested. I will make this again to serve with spicy foods. Today I served it with Tandoori Chicken #83276 and Indian Spiced Rice #48540.

I made this recipe without the sugar. It was excellent. I'm not sure that it was like traditional naan,(because I didn't have a basis to go by) but it was light and very delicious. Would make again to accompany any type of food. This is a great recipe very delicious.
