Ingredients
- 150 ml lukewarm water
- 3 g fast action dry yeast
- 250 g plain white flour / all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 50 g yogurt
- 15 g ghee
- nigella seeds (to garnish)
Instructions
- Place the lukewarm water, yeast, flour, baking powder, ghee, yogurt, and salt in a large bowl.
- Mix well using your hand until it forms a soft and sticky dough.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or a cling film and leave it somewhere warm to let it rise until it doubles the size. The rising time might vary depending on the temperature of the room.
- When the dough doubles the size, divide the dough into 4 equal pieces.
- Preheat your oven to 220° C (430° F) and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
- Turn the dough pieces into balls and let them rest for another 15 minutes on a lightly oiled surface.
- Roll the dough balls out into 15 cm (6") Ø circles on a lightly oiled surface and place them on baking trays.
- Make deep marks on each of the naan bread using the back of a spoon to avoid them puffing and rising during baking.
- Place them in the hot oven and bake them for 10 minutes (5 minutes on each side), until they are lightly browned.
- Lightly brush them with ghee and sprinkle some sesame seeds or nigella seeds.

Notes
- Make deep marks on each of the naan bread using the back of a spoon to avoid them puffing and rising during baking.
- Double the amount of the yeast if you want to use fresh yeast.
- Make sure the oven is hot before placing the naans.
- Don't cook your naans for more than 10 minutes, they will get hard.
- If your Raghni naans come out of the oven hard, lightly butter them with ghee, place them on top of each other and cover with tin foil.
- You can cook your naans on a grilled or a heavy-based pan if you don't want to use your oven. Simply heat your pan on high heat and cook both sides for a couple of minutes, until golden brown.
