Garlic Naan
Description
This Garlic Naan recipe combines flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and active dry yeast, mixed into a soft, elastic dough with warm milk and olive oil. After resting for 30 minutes to allow the yeast to activate, the dough is divided and rolled thin.
The naans are brushed with a mixture of minced garlic, chopped coriander, and melted butter before being cooked on a high-temperature grill. Each side is grilled until golden brown with slight puffing, resulting in a tender interior and crispy edges enhanced by the garlic butter topping.
These naans are best served hot, directly from the grill, and make a fitting side for Indian-inspired meals or as a flavored flatbread for dips and spreads. The garlic and coriander provide aromatic notes that infuse the bread during cooking.
Note that the dough requires only a moderate rising time, and grilling rather than baking gives the naan a distinct texture and grill marks. Adjusting the thickness of the dough circles will vary softness and crispness.
Ingredients
- 250 g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp yeast Active Dry
- 120 ml milk Warm
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic Minced
- 2 tbsp Coriander Chopped
- 2 tbsp butter Melted
Instructions
- Combine flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Whisk well to blend the dry ingredients.
- Gradually add warm milk and vegetable oil to the bowl, stirring the mixture until a soft and elastic dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and allow it to rest for about 30 minutes in a warm spot.
- Heat your grill to high temperature.
- In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, chopped coriander and melted butter.
- Divide the dough into four equal portions and roll each portion out into a thin circle.
- Brush one side of each naan with the garlic and coriander butter.
- Place the naans buttered side up on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they begin to puff up and turn golden brown.
- Flip the naans over and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the other side is also golden brown.
- Once done, remove the naans from the grill and serve hot.
Notes
- Letting the dough rest in a warm spot helps the yeast activate and makes the dough easier to roll.
- Use fresh minced garlic for stronger flavor in the garlic butter mixture.
- Cook the naan on a hot grill to achieve puffing and golden brown spots without drying out the bread.
- Serve naan hot to enjoy the full aroma and soft texture.
