Plain Naan
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain flour (a cup is 250ml)
- 7g sachet fast yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 tbsp veg oil
- 1 tsp seasalt
- 1-2 tsps nigella seeds (optional)
- 3 tbsps butter or ghee cut into 4 knobs
Preparation
Put the warm water, sugar and yeast into a mixing bowl, give it a quick stir and leave it to activate for 5 mins or until it’s frothed up
Add the remaining ingredients and combine, bring them together into a dough using your hands, if it seems too dry to come together, add a tablespoon of two more water until it does, add a little flour to your hands and the kitchen top and knead the dough for 6-7 mins until the dough is nice and loose
Put the dough back into the bowl and cover with a clean tea towel or cellophane and set aside to rise for an hour
When the dough has risen, split into three or four portions
Roll out each bread thinly on a floured top, add to a very hot pan with a tbsp of butter or ghee and turn 2 mins and cook the other side for another couple of minutes
Each bread should puff up a little and have a nice bit of colour on each side xx
