Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 50 g butter
  • 350 g white bread flour
  • 7 g easy action/ fast action/ instant yeast ((see note))
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon nigella seeds ((optional))
  • 100 ml plain yogurt
  • 150 ml warm water
  • Extra melted butter for brushing on top ((optional))
  • Sufficient baking trays / oven trays for 8 naan breads

Instruction

  • Start by melting the butter, either in the microwave or in a saucepan on the hob.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, yeast, salt, sugar and nigella seeds.
  • Make a well in the centre and add the yogurt, warm water and melted butter. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients thoroughly until it forms a ball.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes.
  • Return the dough to the bowl and leave to rise for 1 hour
  • Preheat your oven to 230C/210C fan/gas mark 8/450F. Place your baking sheets in the oven.
  • After it has risen, knock back the dough (i.e. punch out all the air) and divide into 8 pieces. Roll the 8 pieces into balls and then roll out or stretch out into naan bread shapes (kind of tear drop shaped).
  • Place the naan breads directly on the pre heated oven trays and cook for 5-10 minutes, until cooked to your liking.
  • Remove the naan breads from the oven and brush with melted butter. Serve with your favourite curries, chutneys, pickles etc.
