How to Make Original Indian Naan Bread
- Sift 4 cups all-purpose flour into a large bowl.
- Add 1 cup warm water, 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 1 teaspoon active dry yeast, 1 teaspoon nigella seeds, and 1 teaspoon salt to the flour. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- If the dough is too sticky, lightly oil your hands and knead until smoother.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of oil over the dough, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 8-10 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball, using a little extra flour if needed.
- Let the dough balls rest for another 20 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to its broil setting.
- Lightly flour a clean surface. Roll each dough ball into an oval shape, about 1/8 inch thick.
- Place 2 naans on a baking sheet. Broil for 2 minutes, then flip and broil for another 30-40 seconds on the other side.
- Repeat steps 10 for the remaining naan.
- Once all naans are cooked, keep them covered with a clean towel to maintain their warmth.
- Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite curry!
