Naan is a traditional Indian flat bread that is often used in place of silverware at meals. It is often made with white flour but we don't use white flour so I made these with whole wheat flour. They were perfect with our yogurt chicken.
Naan
3 cups whole wheat flour, plus more for dusting
1 tsp yeast
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp oil
1 tsp honey
¾ cup water
4 tsp plain (unsweetened) yogurt
¼ cup butter, melted (or oil)
1. Combine flour, yeast, salt, oil, and honey in large bowl. Add water and mix well. Add yogurt and mix until a cohesive ball of dough is formed. Cover with a towel and let sit for about an hour.
2. Divide dough into 8 pieces, shape pieces into balls (use flour to keep dough from sticking). Allow balls to sit, covered with towel, for about 20 minutes or until they double in size.
3. Preheat oven to 500°F. Coat each ball with small amount of flour and roll out to about ½” thick.
4. Place flattened dough on baking sheet (it works really well to bake two at a time on a cookie sheet). Brush with melted butter then bake for just a few (2-5) minutes (watch carefully!). Once they are baked, wrap them loosely in a towel until the rest are finished. Serve warm.
