Naan, a delightful flatbread with a chewy texture and a smoky aroma, has its roots in the culinary traditions of South Asia. It has become a beloved staple in many cuisines worldwide, often served alongside curries, stews, and grilled meats. This versatile bread can be prepared in various ways, and this article presents three delectable recipes for making naan bread in the convenience of your bread machine.

The first recipe introduces the classic Plain Naan, a simple yet flavorful version that showcases the essential elements of this beloved flatbread. With just a handful of ingredients, including flour, yogurt, and a touch of sugar, this recipe yields soft and fluffy naans that are perfect for any occasion.

The second recipe elevates the classic naan with the addition of Garlic and Cilantro. This aromatic variation infuses the bread with a burst of freshness and a subtle garlicky flavor. The combination of minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and a hint of lemon juice creates a tantalizing taste that complements a wide range of dishes.

Last but not least, the third recipe introduces a unique take on naan with the inclusion of Sweet Potato and Black Pepper. This innovative recipe incorporates mashed sweet potato and a touch of black pepper, resulting in a slightly sweet and mildly spicy flatbread. The vibrant orange hue and the subtle peppery notes make this naan a delightful accompaniment to both sweet and savory dishes.

EASY NAAN BREAD



Easy naan bread image

Rustle up soft, fluffy naan bread topped with herby garlic butter. A perfect side dish for dunking into curries, it's super easy to make

Provided by Afia Begom - Afelia's Kitchen

Categories     Side dish

Time 50m

Yield Makes 8-12

Number Of Ingredients 9

570g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
1 tsp sugar
1½ tsp baking powder
½-1 tsp strongly-flavoured seeds, such as nigella or cumin seeds (optional)
2 tbsp melted butter
8 tbsp natural yogurt
oil, for the bowl
2 garlic cloves, crushed
small handful of coriander, finely chopped, plus extra to serve

Steps:

  • Put the flour in a large bowl, then add the sugar, baking powder and 1½ tsp salt. Add the seeds, if you like. Lightly whisk to disperse the ingredients evenly throughout the flour.
  • Add 1 tbsp of the melted butter, followed by the natural yogurt. Mix together with your hands. Once the yogurt and butter have been absorbed, gradually add 180-200ml water, 50ml at a time. Mix between additions, until it begins to come together into a dough. The water amount will depend on the consistency of the yogurt and butter - stop adding when you have a ball of dough.
  • Tip the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead thoroughly for 5 mins until smooth and elastic. Put in an oiled mixing bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave to rest for at least 1 hr. The dough will not rise but it is important to let it rest as this helps to make the naans less chewy and more fluffy.
  • If making the garlic butter, mix the garlic with the remaining 1 tbsp melted butter and the coriander. Set aside.
  • Divide the dough into eight, 10 or 12 even-sized pieces, depending on how big you want the naans. Roll into round balls, then return to the bowl, covered with a tea towel.
  • Roll one of the dough balls out on a lightly floured surface into a round, oval or teardrop shape - roll with a diagonal motion to get an oval. Flip the dough over and repeat on the other side.
  • Heat a frying pan. Dry fry the dough over a medium high heat until it begins to puff up and the underside browns in places. Flip and repeat on the other side. Remove the cooked naan from the pan. Spoon a little of the garlic butter over the naan, if using. Sprinkle over some coriander, if you like. Cover with a tea towel while you repeat the process with the remaining balls of dough.

NAAN

This recipe makes the best naan I have tasted outside of an Indian restaurant. I can't make enough of it for my family. I serve it with shish kabobs, but I think they would eat it plain.

QUICK NAAN (BREAD MACHINE)



Quick Naan (Bread Machine) image

This naan is ready in 40 minutes! I like this recipe better than Recipe #41503. For best results, follow directions carefully. They seem long but aren't, I am just describing what I saw on TV exactly. UPDATE: Made this with sour cream instead of yogurt. Much, much better!!

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup warm water
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
2 1/2 tablespoons oil
1/3 cup yogurt
4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast

Steps:

  • If the yogurt is cold, heat it for 15 seconds in the microwave.
  • Add ingredients to your bread machine according to the manufacturer's directions.
  • After 5 minutes, check your dough (see NOTE).
  • After another 5 minutes (10 minutes total in the machine) take the dough out and divide into 8 pieces. Turn each piece in flour, cover, and allow to rest on a tray for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat your oven to 500°F.
  • If you have a pizza stone, allow it to heat in the oven, otherwise, put heat-resistent metal cooling racks in the oven. Baking sheets do not work very well.
  • With your fingers, flatten each piece of dough into a tear-drop shape, 1/2 inch thick.
  • Moisten hands, then turn naan briefly in your hands to moisten it, and place it on the stone/rack; bake for about 4 minutes.
  • Brown tops using the broiler.
  • Wrap naan in a towel while you make the rest.
  • NOTE: Dough should be somewhat sticky, and you might get a small amount stuck to your finger. It shouldn't stick to the pan at all. If it isn't sticky enough, add 1 T water. If it sticks to the pan, add 1 T flour, till you reach the correct consistency.

SUPER EASY NAAN BREAD



Super Easy Naan Bread image

My usual naan recipe calls for milk and an egg, but since I had neither in the house tonight, I improvised. This is a super simple 5-ingredient naan bread and it came out great!

Provided by girlwiththepapersmi

Categories     Breads

Time 55m

Yield 8 pieces, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups flour, plus a few tbsp for workspace

Steps:

  • Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  • Add salt and flour. Mix thoroughly. Knead dough on a floured workspace about 20 times and form into a tight ball. Put dough in a well oiled bowl and cover with a damp towel.
  • Put in a warm place to rise for 30-45 minutes. Dough won't rise much, but it doesn't need to.
  • Turn dough out onto a floured workspace. Divide dough into 8 pieces and roll out with a rolling pin to about 1/8" thick.
  • Grill naan pieces on a grill or electric griddle. In a pinch, a frying pan sprayed with some nonstick cooking spray will work. Grill for 1-2 minutes on each side.
  • This recipe yields a very soft, chewey naan. Just the way I like it!

Tips:

  • Ensure accurate measurements: Using a kitchen scale is recommended for precise ingredient quantities, particularly for active dry yeast and salt.
  • Activate the yeast properly: Proof the yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar before adding it to the bread machine. This helps ensure the yeast is active and will properly leaven the dough.
  • Control the dough consistency: The dough should be soft and slightly sticky but not overly wet. Adjust the amount of water or flour as needed to achieve the right consistency.
  • Choose the right bread machine setting: Most bread machines have a specific setting for making dough. Select the appropriate setting to ensure proper mixing and rising.
  • Cook the naan bread thoroughly: Once the dough cycle is complete, transfer the dough to a hot skillet or tawa and cook until golden brown spots appear on both sides. This ensures the naan is cooked evenly and has a slightly charred flavor.

Conclusion:

Using a bread machine to make naan bread is a convenient and efficient method that yields delicious, authentic results. By following the tips and instructions provided in this article, you can easily create soft, fluffy naan bread in the comfort of your own home. Experiment with different toppings and accompaniments to customize your naan bread and enjoy it as a versatile addition to your meals.
