Easy Yoghurt Naan Bread
Makes: 6-8 Naan
Ingredients
2 ¼ cups self-raising flour, plus extra to dust the bench when rolling
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons flaky salt
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
4 cloves garlic – peeled and crushed
1 ¼ cups Greek yoghurt
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon olive oil
Butter to spread and salt to sprinkle when cooked
Method
Sift the flour and baking powder together into the bowl of a stand mixer
Add the salt and the cumin seeds
Mix briefly to combine
Now add the yoghurt, milk, oil and garlic
Mix for 2-3 minutes until smooth
Tip the dough onto a well-floured bench top or board and knead until dough is soft but not sticky. You can do all the mixing by hand if you do not have a mixer-just need to knead the dough for an extra 5 minutes
Roll the dough into a sausage shape about 30cm long
Cut into 8 even sized pieces
Roll each piece into a ball and place on a lined baking tray and cover with a clean tea towel to rest
After 15 minutes roll each ball out gently with a roiling pin or press out gently using the palm of your hand
The dough should be a rough oval and about 1 cm thick
Dry fry the naan either in a heated frypan or you can use the sandwich press-you just need to prop the lid open slightly so that the naan doesn’t get squashed flat
As they come out of the pan or press, spread with a little butter and sprinkle with a little salt
Serve whilst hot
