Servings : 4-6 naans
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. instant yeast
- 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 3 tbsp. oil
- 1/4 cup yoghurt
- 1/2 cup milk (warm)
- melted butter for brushing
Instructions
Mix the dry ingredients, make a hole in the center and add the oil and yoghurt. Then gradually add the warm milk a little at a time and knead to form a very soft dough, but not sticky. Knead well and then apply a light layer of oil and cover, then set aside for an hour or two.
Once it's risen, knock the dough down and divide into 4-6 balls of equal size. Roll each one out and place on a floured surface. You can make it as thick or as thin as you like, It will swell up a bit during cooking so I normally roll it out to a bit more than quarter inch thickness.
Heat the tava, then place a naan on it and cover with a lid. Let it cook for 2-3 mins on medium to low heat, then uncover and check. If it has started forming bubbles, gently check the bottom and if it has started browning, flip it over and let it cook on the other side as well. You can cover it again if you like, it helps conserve moisture in the naan so that the result is extra soft.
Once browned to your satisfaction, remove, brush with some melted butter and place in a hotpot or cover with a cloth to keep warm until serving.
Enjoy with your meal!!
Perfectly soft and delicious!
i was lokking for the naan recepie fr a lona time…thnx i will try …may allah bless u.u share infact teach us….
Jazakallahu khairan!! most of the time free recipes give the wrong measurements but yours give the correct one’s!!! 🙂
Assalamualikum..my dear i just want to know,vch yeast is good bcz i ve never used it..n what if d dough bcome extra soft or sticky?i can add maida?
W/Salaam, my preferred yeast is SAF Instant Yeast. ANd yes you can add maida/plain flour to dough that has become extra soft but always try to add the liquid sparingly when making the dough. Adding too much liquid means you will add extra flour and that will throw off the results. The dough may end up being too hard or too rubbery from all the extra flour that was not needed.
A.a. Fauzia. Can i use whole wheat flour instead of all purpofuse flour?. Shukran for wonderful recipes. Jazakmullah.
W/Salaam, yes you can.
Lovely and easy naans, thank you!
Dey turned out soft n tasty! 🙂
can i make the dough a day before and refrigerate?
Best made fresh or maximum a day ahead.
aslmwk.hwz u my super chef? i want to ask if i substitute instant yeast wid fresh yeast. wat shud b d qty?
W/Salaam, yes you can…just multiply the instant yeast amount by 3 when substituting with fresh yeast. Meaning if the recipe calls for 1 tsp instant, you will need 3 tsp fresh yeast.
Im so glad iv found ur naan recipe.wish id found it yesterday. Cnt wait to try this.

Shud the tawa stand in low heat or high????
Heat it then set the heat on medium and start making the naans. You can lower the heat as needed. But do not use very high heat.
Awsum result!
