Incredibly Soft and Tasty Butter Naan

- SPONSORED -

I am what you may call a Naan expert. I love when Naan is incredibly soft and full of flavour. It just completes every meal a great curry or any grilled meat. I have experimented for years trying to get great Naan bread without a Tandoor because lets face it, unless you’re uber cool, you probably don’t have one lying around in your backyard. I certainly don’t and thats fine being cool was never my forte.

So, without dragging this on lets jump straight to it

Butter Naan

A great Naan is the perfect companion to curries and grilled anything

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups Flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp Instant yeast
  • 1 Tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup milk warm
  • 1 Egg
  • 3 tbsp Natural Yoghurt
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 5 Tbsp Melted butter To butter the Naan 😉

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, add the flour, baking powder, instant yeast, salt, vegetable oil, milk, egg, yoghurt and half the water
  • Knead until the dough comes together. The dough will be slightly sticky and thats ok.
  • Add the rest of the water if the dough is too dry
  • Cover with a damp cloth and set aside to rise for 3 hours
  • Pinch a small piece of dough and roll out
  • Place the rolled naan in a tawa or hot frying pan and cook both sides
  • Slather in butter and cover with a tea towel until all the naan are cooked
  • Serve warm

  3. Brilliant, now a staple in our house.
    We mix everything together in a bread machine and it worked superbly.
    Really light and fluffy
    Thanks

      Oh wow, never tried it in a bread machine. I am so glad I have a mixer 🙂

      1. Should just say – use the bread machine just to mix the dough. Cook them in the normal way!
