This recipe guides you to create soft and fluffy naan bread, perfect for pairing with your favorite curries or dishes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and nigella seeds.
Mixing the dry ingredients first ensures even distribution of the yeast and salt.
Add the warm water, yogurt, and egg to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
Use a spatula or your hands to mix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
If the dough sticks, sprinkle a little more flour on the surface.
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Resting allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll out.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a ball.
Use a knife or dough scraper to divide the dough evenly.
Roll each ball into an oval shape using a rolling pin.
Roll gently to avoid tearing the dough.
Preheat the oven to broil and place a baking tray inside to heat.
A hot tray helps the naan cook evenly and puff up.
Place the rolled dough on the hot tray and broil for 2 minutes on one side, then flip and broil for another 30 seconds.
Keep an eye on the naan to prevent burning.
Brush the cooked naan with melted butter and keep covered with a towel until serving.
Brushing with butter adds flavor and keeps the naan soft.
Serve the naan warm with your favorite dishes.
Enjoy the naan fresh for the best texture and taste.
