 🍞✨ Soft and Fluffy Naan Bread: Easy Homemade Recipe! ✨🍞



This simple naan bread recipe creates soft, fluffy flatbreads that are perfect for scooping up curry, serving with dips, or enjoying on their own.


Ingredients:

3 1/2 cups (440 g) all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 cup (180 ml) warm milk

3/4 cup (180 ml) plain yogurt (room temperature)

2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter

Instructions:

1. Mix the Dough:


In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

Add the warm milk, yogurt, and olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

2. Knead the Dough:


Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 3-4 minutes.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rest for 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.

3. Divide and Roll:


Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each piece into a ball.

Roll each ball into an oval or round shape about 1/4-inch thick.

4. Cook the Naan:


Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.

Place one rolled dough piece into the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown spots appear.

Remove from the pan and brush with melted butter or olive oil. Repeat with remaining dough.

5. Serve and Enjoy:


Serve warm naan bread with your favorite curries, stews, or dips like hummus or tzatziki.

This easy naan bread recipe is perfect for any occasion and will quickly become a household favorite. 🍞✨
