Recipe Hack: Naan at Home

Recipe Hack: Naan at Home

Making restaurant-style naan at home is easier than you think with this hack - soft, chewy, and no tandoor needed.

Ingredients

2 cups flour, plus more for kneading and rolling 

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/3 cup whole milk plain yogurt 

Method

Whisk baking powder and salt into the flour. Stir in plain yogurt until a shaggy dough forms. Turn it out onto a floured surface using a rubber spatula. Sprinkle more flour on top and knead for a few minutes, adding flour as needed, until a smooth ball forms. Cut into 8 pieces and cover with a tea towel to rest for 20 minutes.

Flour a plate and your work surface.

Roll out each piece of dough, dipping in the flour plate as needed, into a rustic oval or circle.

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a bit of oil and swirl to coat. Add a flatbread and cook for a couple of minutes, until bubbles form. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough.

Serve hot.
