This Homemade Naan Bread Recipe is so soft and chewy and it’s really easy to make. If you are a beginning bread maker, this one is for you!
How to make my Homemade Naan Bread Recipe
You can make this dough by hand, but I prefer an electric mixer. It does all the work for you.
Combine the yeast, sugar and water and mix until combined. Allow to sit for 10 minutes or until it gets foamy. This is how you know the yeast is active. Follow with the remaining ingredients and allow the mixer to continue to knead the dough for a few minutes. Finish the kneading by hand and you’ll know it’s ready when it’s soft and smooth. Place in a bowl and cover with a damp towel.
Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until doubled. I use this yeast and it is amazing.
Divide the dough into four equal pieces and roll into a smooth ball.
Roll each ball into a flat, thin disk. Allow to rest while the pan preheats.
In a non-stick skillet over high heat, add a teaspoon of oil and one piece of dough at a time. When it bubbles, it’s ready to flip.
It should be browned and a bit charred in places like this. Allow the second side to cook until it looks the same. Remove to a plate and continue until the rest are cooked.
Just look how tender these are. I love them warm right from the pan but …
They are even better brushed with garlic butter and a bit of chopped parsley.
