Quick And Easy No Rise Garlic Naan Recipes

QUICK NAAN WITHOUT YEAST

Steps:

• Combine all dry ingredients, and whisk together.
• Create a well in the middle of the dry ingredients, and add the oil and milk. Mix everything together until it forms a ball. Turn out on the counter and knead until very smooth and elastic - at least 5 minutes - adding more flour as necessary.
• Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. Divide into 8-10 equal pieces.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Roll one piece of dough until very thin (less than 1/8″). If the skillet isn't non-stick, melt some butter before each piece. One at a time, cook the naan for about 90 seconds, or until parts are blackening, on each side. When they are done, you can brush them with butter and add seasonings (cilantro, garlic, etc.), if you want.

GARLIC NAAN BREAD

Steps:

• Combine together the water, sugar and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes or until the mixture begins to bubble on top
• Add in the milk, yogurt, oil, minced garlic, flour baking powder and salt. Mix until the dough comes together with your hands.
• Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Use floured hands to knead the dough until smooth, about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Lightly grease the same mixing bowl with a small spray of cooking oil. Transfer dough to the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest at room temperature for about an hour until doubled in size.
• When ready to cook, divide the dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll into balls, then use a rolling pin to roll each piece of dough into a large oval, about 6-inches long and 1/8-inch thick. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Grease skillet all over with 1/2 teaspoon of the extra oil.
• Place one piece of the naan on the oiled hot skillet and cook until bubbles form on top, about 1-2 minutes. While cooking, brush the top with a little oil.
• Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until large golden spots appear on the bottom.
• Remove from the skillet and wrap in a clean kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining naan (keep them wrapped in a towel while you work).
• Combine melted butter and minced garlic together in a bowl. Brush each naan with the garlic butter and top with the fresh herb of your choosing.

QUICK AND EASY NO RISE GARLIC NAAN

Steps:

• In a bowl, thoroughly combine the flour, vital wheat gluten, salt and baking powder together.
• In a separate bowl, combine the milk, water, oil and yogurt together
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until it forms a dough that comes together and cleans the sides of the bowl.
• Turn the dough out onto a clean surface sprinkled with flour and knead it for five minutes (to activate the gluten) until a smooth ball forms.
• Divide the dough into eight portions and roll it out into a flatbread (irregular) shape.
• Heat a skillet/cast iron pan/frying pan on high heat. Once hot, lower the heat to medium and place one of the rolled out dough rounds into the pan (do not grease the pan) and allow it to cook for about 30 seconds until bubbles appear on the top and a spatula easily slides under it. Flip it and cook on the other side for another 30 seconds. Your round should be fully cooked with brown/charred spots on it.
• Remove from the heat and place onto a plate lined with a kitchen towel. Cover the cooked naan with the towel (top and bottom) This helps keep it warm and soft.

GARLIC NAAN (FAST & EASY!)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt. Add the olive oil, milk, and Greek yogurt and stir until dough comes together. If it is dry, add a bit more milk; if it is very sticky, add a sprinkle more flour. Knead for about 30 seconds to a minute until all the flour is incorporated and a dough ball forms.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl. Rest for 30 minutes at room temperature covered with a towel.
• Once the dough has rested, flatten it into a disc. Then cut it into 6 equal pieces. On a clean, lightly floured countertop, roll each dough into a thin teardrop shape, about 1/8 inch thick.
• Meanwhile, grate the garlic. In a small saucepan, heat the butter and the garlic over medium low heat. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the garlic fragrant is just starting to turn yellow (but not brown), then immediately remove from the heat.
• Heat a cast iron skillet*, griddle or large skillet over very high heat until it's blazing hot (make sure it's as hot as possible, or the first piece won't cook correctly). Add one of the pieces of dough and cook until the top has bubbles and the bottom is golden and very dark brown in spots (about 1 minute), then turn and cook another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side. Brush the naan with a bit of the garlic butter on both sides. Wrap it with a clean towel. Repeat with the remaining 5 naan, adding each to the towel afterwards (this will steam them and keep them warm and supple).
• Serve immediately with chopped cilantro. To store, place fully cooled naan in an airtight plastic bag and keep at room temperature for up to 3 days, or wrap in foil, place in a plastic bag or container and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat refrigerated or frozen naan by wrapping in aluminum foil and baking in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes. For quick fix, you can reheat naan in the toaster (you may need to cut it in half to get it to fit).

GARLIC NAAN

Steps:

• Combine water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and forms a creamy foam, about 15 minutes.
• In the meantime, heat butter in a pan over medium heat until melted and sizzling. Quickly mix in garlic. Remove garlic butter from heat and set aside until ready to use.
• Add yogurt, bread flour, salt, and 1 tablespoon of the garlic butter to the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Knead by hand until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl, adding more water or flour as needed. Turn dough out onto the counter and continue kneading into a smooth ball, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Place dough in a large bowl. Coat with a few more drizzles of garlic butter. Cover and let rise until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
• Punch down dough and turn out onto the counter. Shape into a rough rectangle and cut into 6 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and lightly dust with flour. Cover with plastic wrap and proof until slightly puffy, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Roll each piece into an oval about 1/8 inch thick. Sprinkle some cilantro on top and press lightly to adhere.
• Preheat a cast iron skillet until very, very hot, about 5 minutes. Cook each naan until large bubbles form, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip over, press gently, and cook until bubbles on the bottom are charred, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Brush naan with more garlic butter before serving.
