How to make Garlic Naan Bread

Prepare the Dough

  1. Sift the flour and gently fold in the yogurt with a spatula until the mixture forms a dough.

  2. On a floured surface, knead the dough by hand for 5-8 minutes. If too sticky, add more flour, a little at a time, while kneading. Cover and set aside until you’re ready to use your dough.

Cook the Naan

  1. Divide the dough into 10-12 equal balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball into 3mm thick circles.

  2. Heat a pan. Carefully lay the naan dough into the pan and fry until slightly puffed with a light char, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  3. Combine the crushed garlic with the melted butter and parsley. Brush the naan bread on both sides as they are removed from the pan.

FAQS

  1. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of self-raising flour?

    Yes, but the texture may be denser. You may need to add baking powder to help it rise.

  2. Can I make the dough ahead of time?

    Yes, you can prepare the dough a few hours in advance and keep it covered until ready to use.

  3. How do I store leftover naan?

    Store leftover naan in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.

  4. Can I use dried parsley instead of fresh?

    Yes, but fresh parsley provides a better flavor. Use about half the amount if using dried parsley.

  5. What can I serve with garlic naan?

    Garlic naan pairs well with curries, soups, or as a base for wraps and sandwiches.
