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
- 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.
- 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.
- Once the dough has doubled, punch out the air and transfer it to a floured shaping surface. Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. On a well floured surface, roll your naan into a round shape, roughly 1/8” thick.
- 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.
- Serve warm or allow to cool and store in an airtight container.
