# How to Make Naan
|
||||
|
||||
> Naan(नान)— Indian leavened flatbread
|
||||
|
||||
Naan is one of the most common flatbreads in the Indian subcontinent. Traditionally baked in a tandoor (clay oven), it features a slightly charred, crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior. You can achieve a similar result at home using a skillet or oven. It is the perfect staple to accompany Indian curries. Total time: about 30 minutes (excluding the 1-hour dough fermentation).
|
||||
|
||||
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★
|
||||
|
||||
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
|
||||
|
||||
- All-purpose flour (or bread flour)
|
||||
- Yogurt
|
||||
- Yeast
|
||||
- Sugar
|
||||
- Salt
|
||||
- Ghee or butter
|
||||
- Warm water
|
||||
- Black or white sesame seeds (optional)
|
||||
- Cilantro leaves (optional)
|
||||
- Garlic (for garlic naan, optional)
|
||||
- Skillet (non-stick or cast iron)
|
||||
- Rolling pin
|
||||
|
||||
## Calculations
|
||||
|
||||
Determine how many batches you want to make before starting. One batch yields 6 naans, sufficient for 2-3 people.
|
||||
|
||||
Per batch:
|
||||
|
||||
- All-purpose flour: 300g
|
||||
- Yogurt: 60ml
|
||||
- Dry yeast: 3g
|
||||
- Sugar: 10g
|
||||
- Salt: 5g
|
||||
- Cooking oil: 15ml (for kneading)
|
||||
- Warm water: 100ml (approx. 40°C)
|
||||
- Ghee or butter: 30g (for brushing)
|
||||
- Black sesame seeds: 5g (optional)
|
||||
- Cilantro leaves: 10g (optional)
|
||||
- Garlic: 3 cloves (approx. 9g), minced (for garlic version, optional)
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### Kneading and Fermentation
|
||||
|
||||
- Dissolve 3g of dry yeast and 10g of sugar in 100ml of warm water (water temperature approx. 40°C; do not make it too hot).
|
||||
- Let it rest for **5 minutes** until *fine bubbles form on the surface* (indicating the yeast is active).
|
||||
- In a large bowl, combine 300g of all-purpose flour and 5g of salt, mixing evenly.
|
||||
- Pour in the yeast mixture, 60ml of yogurt, and 15ml of cooking oil.
|
||||
- Knead by hand until the dough is *smooth and soft* (the dough should be slightly softer than usual; slight stickiness is normal).
|
||||
- Knead for **8-10 minutes**.
|
||||
- Coat the surface of the dough with 3ml of oil to prevent drying.
|
||||
- Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap.
|
||||
- Let it rise in a warm place for **at least 1 hour**, until *the dough doubles in size*.
|
||||
|
||||
### Dividing and Rolling
|
||||
|
||||
- Remove the fermented dough and gently knead to release air.
|
||||
- Divide into 6 equal portions (each approx. 80g).
|
||||
- Take one portion and lightly dust your hands with 3ml of flour or oil.
|
||||
- Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a long oval or teardrop shape, about 4-5mm thick.
|
||||
- For garlic naan: Sprinkle minced garlic and cilantro leaves on the surface, then gently press them into the dough with the rolling pin.
|
||||
- You may sprinkle sesame seeds on the surface of the naan.
|
||||
|
||||
### Baking
|
||||
|
||||
**Method 1: Skillet (Recommended)**
|
||||
|
||||
- Heat a skillet (cast iron is best) over high heat until *extremely hot* (a drop of water should evaporate instantly).
|
||||
- Brush a thin layer of water on one side of the dough.
|
||||
- Place the dough in the skillet, water-side down.
|
||||
- Bake for **1-2 minutes**, until *the bottom develops golden-brown spots and the dough begins to puff up*.
|
||||
- Flip the dough and continue baking for **1-2 minutes**.
|
||||
- If using a gas stove: After flipping, use tongs to lift the dough and hold it directly over the open flame for **a few seconds** to puff it up quickly.
|
||||
- Immediately after removing from heat, brush ghee or butter onto the surface.
|
||||
|
||||
**Method 2: Oven**
|
||||
|
||||
- Preheat the oven to its highest temperature (typically 250°C / 480°F).
|
||||
- Place the dough on a baking sheet.
|
||||
- Bake for **3-5 minutes**, until *the surface is golden brown and puffed up*.
|
||||
- Remove from the oven and brush with ghee or butter.
|
||||
|
||||
### Serving
|
||||
|
||||
- Serve hot.
|
||||
- Pairs well with any Indian curry, such as Butter Chicken or Red Kidney Bean Curry.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- The softness of the dough is key. Dough that is too hard will result in dry, tough flatbreads. The dough should be moist and slightly sticky to the touch.
|
||||
- Cast iron skillets perform better than non-stick pans, providing higher heat and better charring.
|
||||
- Ghee or butter must be applied immediately after baking; this is crucial for the aroma and texture of Indian flatbreads.
|
||||
- Besides plain Naan, common variations include: Garlic Naan, Cheese Naan, and Butter Naan.
|
||||
- Naan has a history of hundreds of years in India, with the earliest records dating back to 1300, believed to originate from Persian culture.
