How to Make Naan Bread
Description
The recipe involves combining yeast with warm water, milk, sugar, egg, salt, olive oil, and flour in a bread machine to mix and rise the dough. After the first rise, minced garlic is kneaded into the dough on a floured surface for added flavor. Small golf ball–sized dough pieces are rolled into balls and left to rise a second time until doubled.
Each dough ball is rolled thin into a circle and cooked on a preheated grill brushed with melted butter. The naan cooks for a few minutes per side, developing brown bubbled spots and a fluffy texture. Butter is brushed on both sides during grilling to enhance moisture and flavor. The finished naan is soft with slight charred patches typical of grilled flatbreads.
The resulting naan can accompany a variety of dishes or be used as a wrap. The bread machine simplifies dough handling while the grilled cook method replicates traditional tandoor effects without the need for a clay oven.
