I use cow’s milk, but given the small quantity used in this recipe, I see no reason why non-dairy alternatives wouldn’t work. Ghee – a type of clarified butter – brings an intense buttery flavour to anything it touches!Įgg, milk, white sugar, salt – All fairly standard bread inclusions. You can either make your own Ghee (it’s cheaper, really easy and keeps for months), buy it, or just use normal butter and

Ghee has a more intense butter flavour than normal butter, with the added bonus that unlike butter, it doesn’t burn even on high heat. This is simply normal butter but with milk solids and water removed, leaving behind pure butter fat. Ghee or butter – Ghee is basically the same thing as clarified butter. Yes, we’ve made a LOT of naan in recent weeks!!! However, for this recipe, we found that the naan is fluffier if dissolved in warm water first. Unusually, we dissolve the instant yeast in warm water then leave it to become foamy – a step usually bypassed with instant yeast, which is typically mixed straight into dough. The recipe also works with standard active / dry yeast, but we’ve found the naan is slightly fluffier and softer using instant yeast. Yeast – Instant / rapid-rise yeast is called for here. But if you don’t, I wouldn’t make a special trip to the supermarket because this naan is excellent made with all-purpose/plain flour too So in short, use bread flour if you have it. like in our favourite Crusty Artisan Bread).

Naan dough is so easy to make. It’s difficult to capture how chewy and fluffy this naan bread is in a photo – so let me try to show you instead with some live action: They were more like pancakes.įact: You can’t make naan that bubbles up like THIS without using yeast!! ↓↓↓ Every other recipe I tried – and believe me, I’ve tried so many I’ve lost count – are just basic flatbread recipes with no real crumb integrity and absolutely none of the signature elasticity that real restaurant naan has.Īs for the versions made without yeast? Forget it. Truly fluffy, chewy, bubbly naan has eluded me for years.
