Naan - Grilled Flatbread From India
Report
Here is an easy naan recipe I like to make on my indoor grill or panini press . If you like naan and want to grill some during winter here is a great way to do it. You can also use a griddle.

- 4 cups all purpose flour

1-2 Tbsp herbs such as parsley or chives are optional. Nigella seeds are also interesting to add for flavor.

Instructions
- In a small bowl place 1 cup of water in microwave and heat for about 30 seconds to about 100°F to 110°F. Using a meat thermometer test the temperature. Make sure it is not above 110°F. Add ¼ teaspoon of sugar and the yeast. Mix slightly and set aside for about 10-15 minutes or until it begins to appear frothy.
- Mix beaten egg with yogurt and set aside.
- In a large bowl place 4 cups of flour, ¼ cup of sugar and salt. Stir up the dry ingredients to combine.
- Add the yeast water and the egg mixture and mix thoroughly until dough is soft. You can do all this in a mixer that has a dough hook attachment.
- Once the dough is all mixed together, knead on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes. Place dough in a large bowl that has been oiled. Cover and set aside for about 1 hour or until it has risen to twice its size.
- Punch down the dough and add the herbs blending them well into the dough.
- Break off about 8-10 pieces the size of a golf ball and place them on a cookie sheet. Cover and let rise for about 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat your grill or griddle. I use my panini press on about 375°F-400°F and the same on my griddle.
- Roll out each ball into a thin circle around 6 to 8 inches in diameter. Place on a plastic cutting board to prevent sticking and brush with butter on both sides. Grill each circle for about 3-5 minutes on each side.
- ** If you don't have an outdoor grill, a Panini press works well or a griddle as one you would use to make pancakes.
Notes
- Frequently Asked Questions:
- How long can I store the naan bread? You can keep this at room temperature for about 4-5 day. Keep it sealed in a container or zip-top bag to prevent drying.
- Can I freeze naan bread? Yes, be sure to freeze in airtight freezer bags and it stores nicely for up to 3 months.
- How do I know when to flip when cooking on a griddle? It will start to bubble up on top and you can lift the bottom slightly and check for a nice brown color underneath.
