Naan Recipe With Sour Cream

HOMEMADE NAAN

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, salt and anise seeds (if using). Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together, the yogurt, olive oil, and ¾ cup warm water (about 100°F). Add the yogurt mixture to the dry ingredients and mix with a fork. When the dough is about to come together, dust your hands with flour and knead gently into a soft, slightly sticky dough (sprinkle more flour, little by little, if the dough is too wet to work with). As soon as it comes together, stop kneading.
• Lightly oil or spray a clean bowl with nonstick cooking spray (the bowl should be large enough to allow the dough to double in size). Transfer the dough to the prepared bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel. Let sit in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until about doubled in size (hint: the warmer the spot, the faster the dough will rise).
• Fill a small bowl with about ½ cup flour. Dust a work surface with some of the flour and dump the dough on top. Sprinkle some of the flour on top of the dough and on your hands. Shape the dough into a long rectangle and cut into 6 equal portions, dusting with more flour as necessary so the dough doesn't stick. Roll each portion of dough in the bowl of flour to keep them from sticking.
• Warm a large cast iron or heavy nonstick pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Using a rolling pin, roll one of the dough balls into an oval shape about ⅛-inch thick (it should be about 9 x 4 inches). Pick up the dough and flip-flop it back and forth between your hands to release any excess flour; then gently lay the dough in the dry skillet and cook until the top is bursting with air bubbles and the bottom is golden and blackened in spots, a few minutes. Flip the naan and cook about 1-2 minutes more until the the bottom is lightly browned and blistered in spots. Remove the naan from the skillet and brush with melted butter. Place the naan in a tea towel-lined dish to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining naans, adjusting the heat lower if necessary as you go (I usually find it necessary to lower the heat to medium after the first naan). Sprinkle with parsley, if using, and serve warm.
• To keep the cooked naan warm, place them in a 200°F oven. Store leftovers in a Ziplock bag and reheat in a 350°F oven wrapped in foil.
• Note: I use King Arthur flour, which is higher in protein than some other all-purpose flours. If using a flour with a lower protein content, such as Gold Medal, you will likely need to add a few more tablespoons of flour.
• Note: Active dry yeast may be used instead of instant/rapid-rise yeast, however, the dough will take longer to rise. To give active dry yeast a boost, you can dissolve it in the lukewarm water and let it sit until frothy, about 10 minutes. After that, add it to the flour, sugar, salt, and anise seeds, and proceed with the recipe.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The naan can be frozen for up to 3 months. Once it's completely cooled, wrap each piece securely in plastic wrap and put all the rounds in a sealable plastic bag prior to putting in the freezer. To reheat, wrap the naan in aluminum foil and warm in a 350°F oven until hot.

NAAN

Steps:

• Stir together the water and honey before adding the yeast. Let the yeast proof until foamy (about 10 minutes).
• Combine the flour, yogurt, melted butter, salt, and yeast mixture and stir to combine (or use a stand mixer with a dough hook). Continue to mix until smooth (about 5 minutes). This dough will be VERY wet and almost paste-like - THIS IS OKAY. Do not expect to be able to work it with your hands.
• Cover, and let rise until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
• When the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 10 equal pieces. Again, this dough is very wet. It should be workable, but handle it carefully. Gently shape the dough into balls, then roll out into 1/4″ thick rounds.
• In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the rounds one at a time. Cook on the first side until bubbles appear, then flip and cook for another minute. After both sides are cooked in the pan, use tongs to cook the naan over an open gas flame until puffed and charred (about 30 seconds each side).
• Immediately brush with ghee, if using, garnish with cilantro, and set aside. Repeat until all naan has been cooked.

QUICK NAAN (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• If the yogurt is cold, heat it for 15 seconds in the microwave.
• Add ingredients to your bread machine according to the manufacturer's directions.
• After 5 minutes, check your dough (see NOTE).
• After another 5 minutes (10 minutes total in the machine) take the dough out and divide into 8 pieces. Turn each piece in flour, cover, and allow to rest on a tray for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat your oven to 500°F.
• If you have a pizza stone, allow it to heat in the oven, otherwise, put heat-resistent metal cooling racks in the oven. Baking sheets do not work very well.
• With your fingers, flatten each piece of dough into a tear-drop shape, 1/2 inch thick.
• Moisten hands, then turn naan briefly in your hands to moisten it, and place it on the stone/rack; bake for about 4 minutes.
• Brown tops using the broiler.
• Wrap naan in a towel while you make the rest.
• NOTE: Dough should be somewhat sticky, and you might get a small amount stuck to your finger. It shouldn't stick to the pan at all. If it isn't sticky enough, add 1 T water. If it sticks to the pan, add 1 T flour, till you reach the correct consistency.

NAAN BREAD (THE BEST RECIPE)

Steps:

• In a small bowl, add the sugar, warm water, and yeast together. Stir to combine well. The yeast should be activated when it becomes foamy, about 10 minutes. Transfer the flour to a flat surface and make a well in the middle. Add the yeast mixture, yoghurt, salt and oil, knead the dough until the surface becomes smooth and shiny, about 10 minutes. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place (for example: beside the stovetop or warm oven). The dough should double in size, about 1 hour.
• Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll the dough to a 8" circle using a rolling spin.
• Heat up a skillet (cast-iron preferred) over high heat and lightly grease the surface with some oil to avoid the dough from sticking to the skillet. Place the dough on the skillet. When it puffs up and bubbles and burnt spots appear, flip it over and cook the other side. Repeat the same until all dough are done.
• Brush the naan with the melted butter, serve warm.

2 INGREDIENT DOUGH NAAN BREAD- NO YEAST!

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine your flour, salt (if using it) and Greek yogurt. Mix well, until combined. Then, use your hands to form a large ball of dough.
• Lightly flour a wooden or kitchen surface. Sprinkle a little extra flour on top of the ball of dough, before transferring it to the floured surface. Flatten into a circular shape and divide into 8 even portions. Flatten each portion into a rectangular shape (like a classic Naan bread).
• Heat a non-stick saucepan on medium heat. When hot, place flattened dough and cook for 3 minutes, before flipping and cooking a further 2 minutes. Repeat until all the naan bread is cooked.
• Once cooked, if desired, lightly brush the tops of each naan bread with melted butter.

KETO NAAN BREAD | THE BEST KETO FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375° F (190° C).
• Add your almond flour (1 1/2 cups), protein powder, baking powder, and salt to a bowl and whisk until well-combined, then set aside.
• Add the shredded mozzarella and sour cream to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave them on and off in 30 second increments until the cheese has melted and combined.
• Mix the melted cheese and sour cream together, then add the mixture to your dry ingredients while it's still warm.
• Start combining the warm cheese with the dry ingredients. Then, add 1 whisked egg into the mix and continue combining until you get a sticky dough.
• Sprinkle the rest of your almond flour (1/4 cup) over the dough to reduce its stickiness and form the dough into a ball.
• Let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes.
• Once the dough has rested, divide into thirds and shape each portion into a round and flat naan bread. Add water to your fingers to prevent the dough from sticking.
• Place the shaped naan bread dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Bake for 7-8 minutes, then broil for 1-2 minutes or until the top develops a golden brown color.
• Take the naan bread out of the oven, let them cool to room temperature, then enjoy!
