Grilled Naan Recipes

GRILLED GARLIC NAAN

Steps:

• Stir together butter and garlic. Place naan on grill rack; grill over medium-high heat until bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and brush top with garlic butter. Grill until golden brown on bottom. Remove; cut each naan in half.

GRILLED NAAN RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine flour, yeast, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk until combined. Add yogurt and knead with dough hook on low speed until dough comes together into a smooth ball. Dough should stick slightly to bottom of bowl as it kneads (add slightly more yogurt or milk as necessary). Continue to knead for 5 minutes. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and allow to rise at room temperature until roughly doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
• Turn dough out onto floured work surface. Using a bench scraper or a knife, cut the dough into 12 even pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then place on a well-floured surface (leaving a few inches of space between each one) and cover with a floured cloth. Alternatively, place each ball of dough in an individual covered pint-sized deli container. Allow dough to rise at room temperature until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
• Ignite a large chimney full of coals (about 5 quarts of coals) and spread evenly over half of the grill. Set grill grates in place, cover, and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Scrape grill grates clean with a brush.
• Working with two to three balls of dough at a time, stretch with your hands into an oblong roughly 10-inches long and 6-inches across (you can use a rolling pin for this as well). Once you have two or three pieces stretched, lay them out on the grill above the coals. Cook without moving until bottom side is charred in spots and light golden brown. Flip with a large spatula, pizza peel, or with tongs and cook until second side is charred and browned. Remove naan from the grill and immediately brush with melted butter. Transfer the naan to a large plate and cover it with a clean dish towel while you cook the remaining bread.

NAAN GRILLED PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. When grill is hot, cook naan bread over medium heat about 45 seconds on each side. Remove from heat.
• To assemble pizza, brush oil over one side of bread. Top with cheese and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Return pizza to grill. Cover grill; cook 1 to 2 minutes or just until cheese is melted. With large metal spatula, remove pizza from grill. Sprinkle with basil.

NAAN

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until frothy. Stir in sugar, milk, egg, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, or until smooth. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise. Let it rise 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume.
• Punch down dough, and knead in garlic. Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of a golf ball. Roll into balls, and place on a tray. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
• During the second rising, preheat grill to high heat.
• At grill side, roll one ball of dough out into a thin circle. Lightly oil grill. Place dough on grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned. Brush uncooked side with butter, and turn over. Brush cooked side with butter, and cook until browned, another 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from grill, and continue the process until all the naan has been prepared.

GRILLED STEAK NAAN TACOS

Steps:

• For the steak: Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Drizzle the steak with the olive oil and season with the ancho chile powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Grill the steak to the desired temperature, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Set aside to rest while you make the salsa.
• For the grilled avocado-corn salsa: Brush the corn, jalapeño and red onion with the olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Grill until the vegetables are lightly charred, about 6 minutes. Slice the corn off the cob and chop the jalapeño and onion. Toss the vegetables with the cilantro, avocado and lime zest and juice in a bowl. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• For the assembly: Slice the steak thinly against the grain. Build a taco by grabbing a warm naan and adding a tablespoon of the chipotle mayo, if using. Top with some of the steak and a spoonful of the salsa. Top with some crumbled queso fresco and serve with a lime wedge.

GREEN ONION GARLIC NAAN BREAD

Steps:

• Place bread flour in a bowl. Add salt and baking powder and give it a good whisk until evenly combined.
• Add in Greek yogurt gently, followed by garlic and green onions. Take a wooden spoon and slowly start mixing everything together. Keep mixing, stirring, and pressing until a shaggy dough forms.
• Transfer dough to a work surface and use your hands to press dough together. Knead for a few minutes until dough becomes elastic and a little bit sticky. Add a bit more flour as necessary but try to keep extra flour at an absolute minimum. Knead until dough is a little bit stretchy, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Wrap in plastic and allow to rest on the counter for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Take a bench scraper and cut into 6 equal pieces. Take 1 portion and roll into a ball. Place onto a generously floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll out nice and thin, about 1/8 inch or less. It's ok if the naan is not a perfect circle. You will need extra flour for rolling out as the dough is sticky, but try to use as little as possible.
• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Transfer dough circles into the hot dry skillet and cook until little bubbles form on the surface and the underside is lightly browned, about 1 minute. Flip naan over and cook for 1 more minute. Press down slightly with a spatula to increase the heat during cooking. Flip over twice more and cook for an additional 15 seconds per side, but make sure not to overcook to preserve the texture. Naan should still be flexible when you remove it from the skillet onto a plate.
• Cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm and moist while you cook the other naan breads. Stack all 6 naan breads on top of each other and keep covered with a kitchen towel.
• When you are finished cooking all 6 naan breads, unstack breads and brush the first naan bread on both sides with a little bit of melted butter. Stack second piece of naan on top and only brush the top side. Keep stacking and buttering all the naan breads. Fold each naan into a triangle and serve.

GRILLED FLAKY NAANS

Steps:

• Mix together the flour, sugar, bicarb and 1 tsp salt, then add the yogurt, egg and 100ml water, and bring together - the dough should be quite wet. Knead the dough for 10 mins until it is soft and smooth. If the dough is dry, add 1 tbsp water and knead again.
• Shape the dough into a ball, smear with oil and put in a clean mixing bowl. Cover with a tea towel and plate, and leave to rest for 1-2 hrs.
• Mix the filling ingredients in a bowl with 1 tsp salt. Divide the dough into 6 balls, then roll out 1 ball as thin as you can. Smear over 1 tsp oil and sprinkle over some of the filling. Roll up like a Swiss roll, then gently pull the ends to stretch it into a long cylinder. Coil the dough into a snail shape. Cover with a damp tea towel and repeat with the remaining dough.
• Heat a griddle pan to hot, or fire up the barbecue and oil the racks. Roll each bread into a teardrop shape. (I roll mine quite thin - don't worry about a tear here and there.) Cook for 1-2 mins on each side until you have dark char marks and the bread is slightly puffed up and cooked through. You can cook as many as you can get on your griddle or BBQ at the same time. Take off the heat, smear over some butter and serve hot.
