Naan Bread Recipe: Soft, Fluffy, and Irresistibly Delicious
Naan bread is a beloved staple in many cuisines, particularly in Indian and Middle Eastern cooking. Known for its soft, pillowy texture and slightly crispy edges, naan is the perfect accompaniment to curries, stews, and grilled meats. It’s also delicious on its own, with a touch of garlic butter or your favorite dips.
If you’ve ever wondered how to make naan bread at home, you’re in the right place! This easy-to-follow recipe will guide you through the process, and you’ll be rewarded with warm, freshly baked naan that tastes just like it came from your favorite restaurant.
What Makes Naan Bread So Special?
Unlike regular flatbreads, naan is made with a yeast-based dough, which gives it its signature airy and slightly chewy texture. It’s traditionally cooked in a tandoor, a clay oven that imparts a unique smoky flavor. However, with this recipe, you can easily make naan on the stovetop using a hot skillet or cast-iron pan, so you don’t need any special equipment.
Ingredients for Naan Bread:
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for rolling)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt (for softness)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter (plus more for brushing)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for extra fluffiness)
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced (optional, for garlic naan)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
