Homemade Naan Bread

Homemade Naan Bread has become an absolute favorite of mine these days only because I’ve been craving Indian recipes and let me tell you, they are so easy to make and can be stored to be enjoyed in the future for sandwiches, soups or to make a naan pizza.

The Homemade Naan bread is known for it flavors achieved from yeast. You will be needing a few ingredients to make this recipe;

• Bread Flour
• All-Purpose Flour
• Yeast
• Salt
• Sugar
• Warm Water
• Plain Yogurt
• Butter

Traditionally naan breads are baked inside a very hot clay tandoor oven, with charcoal or wood fire. However, all you need to make this recipe is a skillet (but an iron cast skillet seems to work better).

The tandoor oven retains very high heat, up to 900°F and hence fills the inside of the flat bread with air pockets and bakes them to perfection. To achieve similar results, these naan bread recipe was fried over high heat on the stove top.
