Easy Naan Bread Recipe

If you’re craving a delicious homemade naan bread to accompany your favourite curry, this easy recipe is just the ticket. With just a handful of ingredients and a few simple steps, you’ll have soft, fluffy naan ready in no time.

Ingredients:

• 250g plain flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 150ml warm water
• 2 tbsp plain yoghurt
• 1 tbsp oil (plus extra for frying)

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly incorporated.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, plain yoghurt, and oil. Gradually add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring to form a soft dough.

3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about five minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and allow it to rise for at least one hour in a warm place.

4. Once the dough has doubled in size, divide it into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Roll each ball out into an oval shape, about 1cm thick.

5. Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium-high heat. When hot, place a rolled-out naan on the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

6. For an extra touch, brush the warm naan with a bit of melted butter or garlic butter before serving. Enjoy your homemade naan with a fragrant curry or as a delightful snack on its own!
