Indian Naan Bread

Indian Naan Bread is a type of flatbread that is popular in India, Pakistan, and other South Asian countries. It is made from white flour, water, yeast, and vegetable oil. Naan is traditionally cooked in a tandoor oven, which gives it a unique smoky flavor. Naan is often served with curries and other dishes, and it is often served with butter, garlic, and herbs. It is also a popular accompaniment to Indian meals.

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2/3 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup warm water

Directions

  • Step 1
    In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Stir in the oil, yogurt, and warm water until the mixture forms a soft dough.
