Dry Yeast 1.5 teaspoon dry yeast ¼ cup warm (not hot) water ½ teaspoon sugar Naan 2 + ⅛ cups white, all purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt ½ cup almond milk (or other milk of choice) *soy milk, whole milk... 1 tablespoon olive oil +more for brushing Garlic Oil (Optional) 4 garlic cloves 7 tablespoon olive oil pinch of salt
Naan In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt .
Add activated yeast, milk and olive oil .
Stir with a spatula or whisk and then knead the dough using your hands until the dough comes together .
If you feel that you need more liquid, add 1 more tbsp of almond milk (no more).
Cover the bowl with a lid or kitchen towel and set aside for 30 minutes to 1 hour (room temperature) and let dough rise .
Divide the dough into 6 equally-sized small balls.
Roll out each ball to ¼-inch thickness on a well-floured surface.
Heat a frying pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat .
Place the naan in the hot skillet and cook on one side for about 2 minutes until you can see bubbles forming (see step-by-step photos ). Flip and continue to cook on the other side until browned.
Brush on some garlic oil (optional) before serving.
Let the dough rise in an airtight container that's big enough to hold the dough after it's doubled in size. That way it won't dry out as much.
Thickness: For the naan to be fluffy, it's important to not roll it out too thin. Roll each ball to ¼-inch thickness for optimal results.
Hot pan: Make sure that your pan is hot enough. Oftentimes, medium heat is not enough heat to make the bread bubble. Opt for medium-high temperature.
Store any left-over naan in an airtight container at room temperature. However, it definitely tastes best when consumed right away!
