Ingredients

  • 375 g All Purpose Flour
  • 2 tsp Active Dry Yeast
  • 175 g Warm Water
  • 20 g Honey
  • 20 g Olive Oil
  • 20 g Milk
  • 1 Egg (beaten)
  • 8 g Salt

Instructions

  1. Add the yeast, warm water, and honey to a large bowl. Stir and allow the yeast to bloom for 5 minutes. Then, add the flour, honey, olive oil, milk, beaten egg, and salt. Mix the dough thoroughly to create a shaggy dough.
  2. Remove the dough from the bowl and knead it on a floured surface for 3-5 minutes. Place the dough back into the bowl, cover, and allow it to rise for 1.5-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  3. Once the dough has doubled, punch out the air and transfer it to a floured shaping surface. Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. On a well floured surface, roll your naan into a round shape, roughly 1/8” thick.
  5. Cook the naan for 30-60 seconds on each side. The naan should begin to puff up and have golden brown spots throughout the surface.
  6. Serve warm or allow to cool and store in an airtight container.
