Naan Bread (The Best Recipe)

An easy, and quite tasty naan recipe. I didn’t bother with the well, rather I added flour to the wet ingredients the way I normally make bread. This is a better way to control how much flour you use, especially if you gradually add the last 1/2 cup flour. It’s worth noting that the main recipe page actually has 1tsp of salt, rather than the 1/2tsp mentioned here. I also added a little garlic powder to the butter brushed on after cooking, which was very tasty too. It would probably work even better with minced garlic sautéed in the butter as it melts. Overall, a satisfying option for naan bread, with good results. Cook notes: preheat the cast iron pan over medium heat. Use the barest amount of oil in the pan, and do not change the heat setting. Any lower and it doesn’t puff, any higher and it’ll smoke the house out. This makes eight moderate sized naans, they won’t last long enough to eat with leftovers, so you may need more.

335g flour

Try adding garlic to the dough for a tastier bread. 10/10

Just had issues with that well. Make it very very not deep as the water came out the bottom pour slowly. The pan will start to smoke real quick. I'd go for adding butter

Doubled the salt and kneaded it with oil. Tender and flavorful

This was okay. It was my first time making naan and it was decent but could have used some more salt. I found the dough pretty dry.

Add more salt. Make it very thin

Needs more salt. Otherwise good.

I took the suggestion of previous comments and doubled the salt. I found the dough to be far too dry and ended up adding about 1/2c more water. The naan turned out quite tasty.

This is a good recipe. Absolutely need to double the salt.

I only had wheat flour, but it still turned out great. I added some wheat gluten to make it more chewy and it couldn't have turned out better. I will definitely make this again.

easy to make. missed that I should roll the bread thin before hitting the skillet, so didnt get that 'air pocket' effect

Awesome recipe - reckon it will make a great base for exploring flavored naans (garlic etc.) but also just brilliant for a basic naan bread to nom with your next curry. Thumbs up!

Pretty good and was simple to make

Delicious but the well method was messy and next time I’ll add liquids in parts. Excited to try it with cilantro on top!

I usually tweak my recipes quite a bit, but this one is fantastic as is. In a pinch if you don't have Greek yogurt, buttermilk or sour cream have both worked for me.

I added some garlic and it turned out great.

It’s delicious bread! It can be used for pizza or to eat with your fave meal.
