Easy Naan
- Ready In:
- 1hr 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
8 flatbreads
- Serves:
- 8
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup milk or 1/2 cup water, warmed
- 1 (7 g) packet fast rising yeast
- 2 1⁄2 - 3 cups flour (plus extra for working the dough)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons oil (plus extra for frying)
- 2 eggs
- seeds, e.g. poppy seeds, sesame seeds, cumin seeds, etc. (optional and to taste)
- spices, e.g. paprika, garam masala, etc. (optional and to taste)
directions
- Stir the yeast into the warm water or milk. Allow to sit for about ten minutes.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, oil, eggs and yeast mixture (and spices, if using) in a food processor until dough forms a ball. If dough remains too wet to form a ball, add small amounts of additional flour until it does. Knead in any crumbs left in the bottom of the processor bowl.
- Place in a bowl and cover with a damp cloth for at least an hour.
- Divide dough into eight balls. Roll out dough (or press out with hands) on a floured surface until an 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch thickness. Fold in seeds, if using.
- Heat oil in a non-stick skillet or grill pan to medium high heat. Fry flatbreads in pan. Turn when bubbles start to form in dough (about 1-2 minutes) and fry another minute or two on the other side. Serve warm.
