Naan

Serves: 5

Ingredients

  • 300 g all purpose flour
  • 0.5 tsp active dry yeast
  • 0.125 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 cup water
  • vegetable oil
  • ghee

Instructions

  1. To a mixing bowl, add 1/2 tsp of salt, 300g of all purpose flour and 1/2 tsp of sugar.
  2. In a separate small bowl, combine 1.5 tbsp of warm water, 1/2 tsp of active dry yeast, and 1/4 tbsp of sugar. Let sit for a few minutes to activate the yeast.
  3. Once the top of the yeast mixture starts to form small bubbles, add the yeast mixture to the mixing bowl. Add 1-1.5 cup of water (and more as needed if the dough is too dry) to the bowl and mix together with hands. Knead until the dough is smooth, tacky, loose, and easy to work with. Work with fists.
  4. Place dough back into the bowl and thoroughly coat with canola oil. Cover the bowl of dough with plastic wrap and let sit for about an hour or until the dough is about twice its original size. Then, put in the fridge either boiled or as is for at least an hour or until the next day.
  5. Divide the dough into equal parts. Roll each part into a ball and place onto a baking sheet that is dusted with flour. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or up to 2 days.
  6. Roll out the naan and place into a 500 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 5 minutes until it is risen and puffy. Lightly brush with ghee and enjoy!
