Homemade naan bread

Preparation – 15 minutes + waiting time

Combine 120 ml of lukewarm water with 5 g of yeast and a tablespoon of sugar. Mix well and wait for the mixture to foam; this will take about 5 to 10 minutes.

Add flour and salt to the bowl of your stand mixer, or to your work surface if kneading by hand.

Carefully pour the yeast mixture into the flour while the mixer is running on medium-high speed. Add the milk and yoghurt and keep mixing until a smooth dough is formed.

Form the dough into a ball and cover with a warm, slightly damp tea towel. Let the dough rise for around an hour, or until doubled in size.

Making the naan bread – 10 minutes

Divide the dough into 8 portions. Knead each dough ball, again, briefly then roll with the rolling pin to form a flat disc. Not too thin, but not too thick either.

Heat a frying pan until very hot; it's best to use a cast iron pan for this. Brush a little oil on each side of the dough discs.

Fry the breads for around 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

Immediately spread them with a little butter, while still warm. Serve your naan bread with your favourite curry. Enjoy!
