Description
Jamie Oliver’s Naan Bread is a simple and delicious flatbread that pairs perfectly with curries, soups, or as a base for wraps. This recipe uses minimal ingredients and delivers soft, fluffy naan with a slightly charred finish.
Ingredients
For the Naan Bread:
- 500g (4 cups) plain flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 300g (1 1/4 cups) plain yogurt
- 100ml (1/2 cup) milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For Optional Toppings:
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Fresh coriander, chopped
- Butter for brushing
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the plain flour, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yogurt, milk, and olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a clean tea towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into 6-8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten and roll out into an oval or teardrop shape, about 1/2 cm thick.
Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place a naan in the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form and the bottom has golden spots. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Brush the naan with melted butter and sprinkle with minced garlic or chopped coriander while still warm.
Serve the naan bread warm with your favorite curry, soup, or dip.
