GREEN ONION GARLIC NAAN BREAD



Green Onion Garlic Naan Bread image

I am going to show you how to make naan Chef John-style-when I want it fast and I don't want to use yeast and wait for a dough to rise but I also want it just as good as if I did. While I originally tried this method to save time, it produces what might be my favorite style of naan. It really is incredible whether you use garlic and green onions, or not. As naan are made, they must be stacked and wrapped in a kitchen towel to keep them soft and supple.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Indian Bread

Time 38m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ½ cups bread flour, plus more as needed
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon plain Greek yogurt
4 cups crushed garlic
½ cup thinly sliced green onions
2 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Place bread flour in a bowl. Add salt and baking powder and give it a good whisk until evenly combined.
  • Add in Greek yogurt gently, followed by garlic and green onions. Take a wooden spoon and slowly start mixing everything together. Keep mixing, stirring, and pressing until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Transfer dough to a work surface and use your hands to press dough together. Knead for a few minutes until dough becomes elastic and a little bit sticky. Add a bit more flour as necessary but try to keep extra flour at an absolute minimum. Knead until dough is a little bit stretchy, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Wrap in plastic and allow to rest on the counter for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Take a bench scraper and cut into 6 equal pieces. Take 1 portion and roll into a ball. Place onto a generously floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll out nice and thin, about 1/8 inch or less. It's ok if the naan is not a perfect circle. You will need extra flour for rolling out as the dough is sticky, but try to use as little as possible.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Transfer dough circles into the hot dry skillet and cook until little bubbles form on the surface and the underside is lightly browned, about 1 minute. Flip naan over and cook for 1 more minute. Press down slightly with a spatula to increase the heat during cooking. Flip over twice more and cook for an additional 15 seconds per side, but make sure not to overcook to preserve the texture. Naan should still be flexible when you remove it from the skillet onto a plate.
  • Cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm and moist while you cook the other naan breads. Stack all 6 naan breads on top of each other and keep covered with a kitchen towel.
  • When you are finished cooking all 6 naan breads, unstack breads and brush the first naan bread on both sides with a little bit of melted butter. Stack second piece of naan on top and only brush the top side. Keep stacking and buttering all the naan breads. Fold each naan into a triangle and serve.

Tips:

  • Prep the Green Onions Properly: Before using, trim the root ends and remove any wilted or discolored parts of the green onions. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or dill can add a burst of flavor to your fritters. Finely chop them and add them to the batter just before frying.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When frying the fritters, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Drain on Paper Towels: After frying, drain the fritters on paper towels to remove excess oil. This will help them stay crispy longer.
  • Serve with Sauces: Green onion fritters are delicious on their own, but they can also be served with various sauces. Some popular options include ranch dressing, sweet and sour sauce, or a simple soy sauce-based dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Green onion fritters are a versatile and easy-to-make appetizer or snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their crispy exterior and flavorful interior, they are sure to be a hit at your next gathering. Experiment with different herbs, spices, and fillings to create your own unique variations of this classic recipe. Whether you serve them as a side dish or as a main course, green onion fritters are a delicious and satisfying treat that everyone will love.
