No Yeast Naan Bread Recipes

NAAN BREAD RECIPE WITH NO YEAST: A QUICK AND EASY RECIPE

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, sieve the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir well and through.
• Take another mixing bowl and put the yoghurt and sugar in it. Beat it until the sugar dissolves. Then add in the water, beat it again. You can use a wooden spoon or a hand whisk.
• Put half of the flour into the yoghurt mixture and keep beating until you get a sticky and pasty mixture.
• Add a tablespoon of oil into the mixture and continue beating.
• Next, add the rest of the flour little by little as you keep mixing. When all the flour is added, you will have a very soft and sticky dough.
• Put the dough onto a floured chopping board. And grease your hands with oil then quickly knead the dough. Place it back into the mixing bowl and cover it with a tea towel. Leave it to rest for at least 20 minutes.
• Then divide the dough into equal 5 portions and shape them into small round balls.
• Take a ball and dust it with a little flour and roll it out thinner about 0.5 cm/0.2-inch thickness. Don't worry about the shape. If you can't get it into a round shape, it's okay.
• Preheat your Tawa/ frying pan at moderately high heat and preheat your grill. Hold your palm about 10cm/ 3.94 inches over the Tawa. If you can feel the heat, it means your Tawa is ready.
• Carefully place the rolled-out dough onto the Tawa and cook at moderate-high heat. When you can see the bread is cooking, turn it around once or twice to ensure heat distribution.
• Once the dough looks changing colour into opaque and there small bubbles on the top of the bread, place the Tawa under the grill and continue cooking the bread until it's puffed up. Sometimes the bread doesn't puff up fully but it has many bubbles. That's okay.
• The naan bread will have some reddish-brown spots. Brush the naan with melted butter and garnish with chopped coriander leaves if you wish.

QUICK NAAN WITHOUT YEAST

Steps:

• Combine all dry ingredients, and whisk together.
• Create a well in the middle of the dry ingredients, and add the oil and milk. Mix everything together until it forms a ball. Turn out on the counter and knead until very smooth and elastic - at least 5 minutes - adding more flour as necessary.
• Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. Divide into 8-10 equal pieces.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Roll one piece of dough until very thin (less than 1/8″). If the skillet isn't non-stick, melt some butter before each piece. One at a time, cook the naan for about 90 seconds, or until parts are blackening, on each side. When they are done, you can brush them with butter and add seasonings (cilantro, garlic, etc.), if you want.

NAAN RECIPE NO YEAST

Steps:

• Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt to the stand mixer. Using the dough hook, mix the ingredients for 30 seconds on low speed. Alternatively, add the ingredients to a large bowl and mix well.
• Add 1 tablespoon of oil and all of the yogurt, and mix into the flour. Add ¼ cup water and start kneading on low speed, scraping the sides of the bowl. Add more water if needed, a tablespoon at a time. Knead for 2-3 minutes until you get a soft and stretchy dough.
• Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil and knead for another 30 seconds. If the dough looks sticky, add a teaspoon or two of flour.
• To rest and proof the dough, add it to the Instant Pot steel insert and set the yogurt mode for 30 minutes and cover with a glass lid. Or, you can simply cover the mixing bowl with a damp kitchen towel and set aside in a warm corner for 1 hour.
• Dust your hands with flour and transfer the dough onto a flat surface. Using a bench scraper or a chef's knife, divide the dough into 6 equal parts for large-sized naans or 8 equal parts for medium. Roll each dough ball in your palms to make a smooth ball.
• Using a rolling pin, apply gentle pressure and roll each dough ball into a large oval shape, about 8-inches long and ¼-inch thick, using as little flour as possible. If using nigella seeds, spread a few on top and roll once more to press them into the naan.
• Heat a non-stick skillet on medium-high heat. When hot, using a pastry brush, spread some water in the pan. Place the naan, topping side up, and let it cook till large bubbles start to form (about 1 - 1½ minutes).
• Flip the naan and cook on the other side for another 1 - 1½ minutes. Remove naan and brush with some melted butter or oil. Enjoy warm with your favorite Indian curry.
