5 Ingredients Naan Bread

Add the flour, yeast and salt to a mixing bowl and mix together

Add the maple syrup to the warm water and mix in

Pour the warm water over the flour mix and stir in with a spoon. Flour your hands and a work surface and get in there with your hands, kneading the dough about 20 times so that it forms into a nice big ball. The dough will be quite soft

Place the ball of dough into an oiled dish and turn it over a couple of times so that the dough is lightly coated in the oil, then cover the bowl with a cloth and leave to rise on the countertop for 30 minutes

After 30 minutes bring out the ball of dough and place onto a parchment lined board. Alternatively use a floured baking mat. Cut the dough into 8 roughly even sized pieces

Heat up a non-stick frying pan with a tiny bit of olive oil – it really must be a very small amount, like a half a teaspoon

Roll out the first naan into roughly an oval sort of shape and place into the hot frying pan. Allow to cook until nicely browned on each side (if the pan is hot enough, it should only be 2-3 minutes before it’s perfectly done both sides)
