Most healthier naan recipes didn't taste as good to us as the recipes that included oil and dairy. So, we came up with this yummy and healthier alternative that amazingly still has no added oil or dairy! Like most naan recipes it is time consuming, but we love Indian food and can't seem to eat it without the naan. Add the garlic to turn the plain naan into garlic naan (our favorite).

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 cups flour
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh yeast
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 egg, lighly beaten
2 teaspoons salt, to taste
1 teaspoon nigella seeds, crushed (optional)
1 tablespoon oil

Steps:

Sieve the flour.
Add water, yogurt, egg yeast, nigella and salt to make a soft dough.
If dough sticks too much then use little bit of oil on hand and then punch into dough.
Top with oil.
Let rest covered 15-20 minutes.
Divide dough into 8-10 portion and form balls with little flour.
Let rest 20 minutes.
Now to make naan, set oven at broil.
Roll oval shape out of dough: flat your balls and toss to make them bigger.
Put 2 naans on the baking tray and place it into stove (make better naan on stove top) and flip it after about 2 min (you have to check!). On the other side they need now about 30-40 seconds (check!).
Repeat with the other naans.
Keep them covered with a towel and serve warm.
Note: If you like, after taking it out apply some butter on them. And they are ready to eat.

Tips:

Use a hot tawa or skillet to cook the naan. This will help to create a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior.
If you don't have a tawa or skillet, you can also cook the naan in a preheated oven. Just be sure to grease the baking sheet well so that the naan doesn't stick.
To make the naan even more flavorful, you can brush it with melted garlic butter or sprinkle it with your favorite herbs and spices before cooking.
Naan is best served fresh and warm. However, it can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. To reheat, simply warm the naan in a preheated oven or toaster oven until heated through.

Conclusion:

Naan is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes. Whether you're serving it with a traditional Indian curry or simply using it as a side for your favorite soup or salad, naan is sure to be a hit.
