How to Make Bread Machine Naan

  1. Add all ingredients to your bread machine according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually liquids first).
  2. Once the kneading cycle is complete, carefully remove the dough from the bread machine.
  3. Divide the dough into 8-10 equal-sized pieces (approximately golf ball size).
  4. Roll each piece into a smooth ball, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for 30 minutes in a warm place.
  5. While the dough is rising, preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  6. Lightly oil the grill grates with vegetable oil.
  7. Gently roll one dough ball into a thin, roughly 6-inch circle using a rolling pin.
  8. Place the naan on the hot grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until puffy and lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  9. (Optional) For extra flavor: Prepare a garlic butter by melting 2 tablespoons of butter and adding 1-2 cloves of minced garlic. Brush one side of the naan with garlic butter before flipping.
  10. Once cooked, brush the naan with remaining garlic butter (or melted butter alone) for extra richness.
  11. Repeat steps 7-10 until all the naan is cooked. Serve immediately and enjoy!
