Description
Quick and easy jamie oliver naan bread requires minimal ingredients for a delightful flatbread experience. Homemade comfort emerges from simple pantry staples, delivering warm, authentic flavors you’ll savor alongside curries or grilled meats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (960 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 ¾ cups (420 ml) Greek yogurt
- 3 tsp (15 ml) baking powder
- 1 tsp (5 ml) salt
- Melted butter (to taste)
- Fresh parsley (to garnish)
Instructions
- Dough Preparation: Blend flour, Greek yogurt, and leavening powder in a large mixing bowl, incorporating salt for depth of flavor. Knead the mixture on a floured surface until a smooth, cohesive dough forms, about 4 minutes.
- Portioning and Shaping: Segment the dough into 5 uniform portions, rolling each into a neat ball. Using a floured rolling pin, gently stretch each ball into thin, circular disks approximately 6 inches in diameter.
- Cooking Process: Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high temperature until evenly warmed. Carefully transfer each dough disk onto the hot surface, cooking for 1-2 minutes until bubbles emerge and golden-brown spots develop. Flip and repeat, ensuring light charring occurs on both sides.
- Finishing Touches: Remove naan breads from heat, optionally brushing with melted butter and sprinkling with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately while warm, presenting a rustic, artisanal flatbread perfect for accompanying various dishes.
Notes
- Flour Freshness Check: Use fresh, high-quality all-purpose flour for the most tender and flavorful naan bread.
- Yogurt Consistency Matters: Select thick Greek yogurt to maintain the right dough texture and prevent excess moisture.
- Kneading Technique: Work the dough gently but firmly, developing gluten without overworking to keep the bread soft and pliable.
- Heat Management: Ensure your skillet is evenly heated before cooking to achieve perfect golden-brown spots and prevent burning.
