How to make Naan Bread
Mix all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Make a little well in the centre of the dry mixture and add the oil and yogurt - do not mix yet.
Take the milk and very carefully pour in tiny drops of hot water until the milk is tepid (warm not hot).
Add the milk little by little into the flour mixture until you get a dough - knead very well.
Cover the bowl with a clean damp tea towel or plastic wrap and keep in a warm place until it doubles in size - usually 30 minutes.
Knead slightly and cut the naan bread dough into pieces and roll each piece of dough into an oval shape.
The thinner you roll out the bread dough the quicker it will cook.
The thinner you roll out the bread dough the quicker it will cook.
Place naan breads onto a greased and floured baking tray and place into a hot oven at 230C or Gas mark 9 for 5-10 minutes until cooked.
Remove from the tray straight away and serve warm.
Try wrapping the naan breads in a clean tea towel or tin foil to keep warm for your meal.
You can serve plain or with a knob of butter/margarine.

Jeena,
How much is a large cup? Can you tell me in metric please?
Ralph
Thank you everyone for the great feedback.
Ralph, I would usually weigh ingredients using my scales so next time I make them I will put the measurements on in grams and ounces.
If you are in the UK and drink tea just fill up your mug to the top and consider that a cup.
If you need any help with anymore of my recipes feel free to email me at jeenaskitchen@gmail.com
Thanks, Jeena.
So easy! I've wanted to make Naan bread but have never come across a recipe. Yay! Now I have one.
Oh Jeena, yours came out perfect! I've bookmarked it to make.
wow...they do look delicious with the melted butter on top...yum :)
Perfect naans! Esp loved the shot in which a cube of butter melts over the hot naan..tempting!
Less than 10 minutes and it looks that fabulous? I am definitely giving this Naan recipe a try. Beautiful!
Oh wow! Naans! A fave :)
Try rubbing some garlic butter or sauteeing garlic in butter and dropping it on the naans. They are brilliant :)
Hi Jeena
Tried your naan recipe out with my keema the other night and just wanted to say it turned out absolutely perfect!
It didn't look much like yours, yours seem lighter and thinner whereas mine were fluffier(?), but omygoodness everything about it tasted right & we couldn't get enough! I've posted photos on my blog, feel free to have a nosy :)
Thanks for the simply brilliant recipe!
yummm!!
Thanks! I will be trying this in a few weeks. The family has been bugging me for something curry ;-)
Hello Jeena,
I have just made your naan breads. Although they tasted great, they 'puffed up' like little balloons and were not soft. I followed your recipe faithfully, but, what am I doing wrong please?
Cheers,
Diane
Hi Diane,
Could you be rolling the dough out too thin or over cooking the breads? It sounds like you have a hot oven.
In a hot oven these breads can take as little as 5 minutes to cook, especially if rolled out thin.
Everyone's oven is different so I would check how the breads look and feel after 3-4 minutes in a very hot oven.
You will be surprised how naan breads like this can cook.
Thanks, Jeena.
Do you have to use yoghurt or could you use cream?
This recipe is simple, and amazing. Best naan ive had, and ive never baked anything. Im so proud of its taste and look that I took pictures. Definitely coming back to this site.
What a great recipe! Very straight forward & produced lovely fluffy naans......will definitely make them again.
I've been looking for a flexible vegan recipe for naan for ages! Thanks! Is it okay to freeze the naan-sized dough pieces to be used on later dates?
