Homemade Naan

Yield – 16 servings

Preparation Time –  2 hours 45 minutes (includes time for dough rising)

Cooking Time – 7 minutes per naan piece, total time varies based on the size of your cooking surface

Ingredients

• 2-1/4 teaspoons yeast (1 packet)
• 1 cup warm milk, 125 degrees F
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• 2 tablespoons of melted butter
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
• Additional butter for oiling the pan/griddle.

Directions for Bread Machine:

• Combine all ingredients EXCEPT garlic in bread machine. You’ll want to place the wet ingredients in the bottom followed by the dry. Make sure to leave out the garlic.
• Start the machine on the “dough” setting.
• When the dough cycle is completed, remove the dough and knead in the garlic on a lightly floured surface.
• Cut the dough into 16 equal pieces. Roll the dough pieces into balls and place them on a greased pan. Cover the pan with greased plastic wrap and a towel and allow them to rise until they’ve doubled their size. This takes 20 – 40 minutes.
• Preheat griddle or frying pan to medium high heat (around 375 degrees).
• Once the second rise is complete, you’ll want to butter the griddle.
• Roll one ball of dough out into to around ¼ inch. Place the dough on on the griddle and cook for 3 minutes until fluffy and showing brown bubbled areas.
• Brush the raw side with butter. Flip the bread and brush the browned side with butter. Cook snother 2 to 4 minutes until done. The naan should be nicely browned on both sides.
• Complete the steps for all remaining dough.

Directions without Bread Machine:

• Combine all ingredients EXCEPT garlic in a large bowl.  Mix well and cover with plastic wrap and a towel. (No kneading required.)
• Set aside and let that rise until doubled.  This will take 60 – 90 minutes.
• Pick up on the directions above for after the dough cycle is completed and knead in the garlic.  Proceed as directed above.
