Instant Whole Wheat Naan No Yeast Recipes

WHOLE WHEAT NAAN WITHOUT YEAST RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine flour along with baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a bowl. Mix nicely. Make a dent in the centre. Pour curd, and ghee in that dent. Mix well and let it rest for 1 - 2 minutes
• Using one tablespoon lukewarm water at a time form a soft and sticky dough. Knead well for 10 minutes. Naan dough is never dry. It has to be a bit sticky and moist.
• Grease a bowl with a teaspoon of ghee or oil. Transfer the dough into the ball. Cover with a tight-fitting lid or cling foil. Keep in a warm, draught-free place (I prefer inside the oven/ microwave/instant pot) for 1 - 2 hours.
• Combine topping ingredients in a bowl and keep near the gas stove. Keep one bowl of clean water next to it.
• Heat flat cast iron pan/griddle over medium heat. Divide the dough into equal golf ball-sized rounds.
• Gently flatten the dough ball with the pressure of your palm. Next, dip your fingers in water and gently try to shape the naan. Alternatively, you can dust the rolling surface with flour and roll out naan into an oval-shaped bread of 1/4 inch thickness.
• Again, using wet fingers stick a teaspoon of chopped toppings over the naan
• Place the naan on a hot griddle. Cook over medium heat. After a few seconds, naan will puff up and has charred, uneven marks on top
• Now turn the griddle upside down and cook the other side of bread on direct flame till it becomes light golden in color.
• If you are not comfortable flipping the pan, simply put the naan on direct flame-like Chapatis and cook until it gets charred marks on top or cook it covered in the cast iron pan itself.
• Apply some ghee/butter just before serving. Serve Naan warm with any curry of your choice.

INSTANT WHOLE WHEAT NAAN - NO YEAST

Steps:

• Sift the flours in a kneading bowl.
• Add sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix well.
• Now pour yogurt and oil right to the bowl.
• Start mixing together, and add about 1/4 cup of warm milk/water to knead a smooth dough.
• Once the dough is ready, cover it with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and keep it aside for 30 minutes.
• When ready to cook divide the dough into 8 equal balls.
• Top each dough ball with seeds and cilantro (coriander) leaves. You can also do this after rolling the dough ball. Repeat the same method with the rest the dough.
• Dust each dough ball with dry flour, flip it, and roll into an oval shape about 1/8 inch thick. Make all the naans in a similar way.
• Brush both sides of the naan with ghee/butter.
• Place the naan on the hot pan, and cook for 1 minute, until you see bubbles starting to form.
• Brush with some ghee. You can also use a lid, to cover the pan.
• Flip and cook for 1 minute on the other side, until you see the upper side is fully cooked, and dark brown starts to appear.
• Remove cooked naan from the pan and brush with some more butter, if you want Butter Naan. (You can also rub this naan bread with halved garlic clove, or with melted butter mixed with minced garlic to make it garlic butter naan.)
• Cook rest of the naans. Once all naans are done, place them in a towel­ lined dish and serve. Serve it hot with some curry on the side.
