Naan recipe, How to make naan with yeast

Naan is a leavened Indian flatbread with soft spongy texture and usually oven baked/ tandoor. Naan can be easily prepared at home on tawa with or without yeast but still have have texture like this recipe which I posted earlier WHOLE WHEAT NAAN (without yeast). Naan comes in many varieties/ with variations like butter naan, garlic naan, kashmiri naan and my newly found Italian herbs naan and so on.

Naan can be served with any dal based gravies like dal fry, Dal makhani or veggie based gravies like paneer butter masala, matar paneer, palak paneer, dum aloo, methi malai paneer, kadai paneer, aloo kofta curry.  So let’s get to the making!

  2. Now in a bowl add flour, salt and yeast mixture. Combine everything well and knead into soft dough and allow it to rest for 2 to 3 hours so that it doubles in size. I added 1/2 cup water to make sot dough. The measurement depends on the quality of flour so it might differ.

  3. After  2 to 3 hours  you will notice the dough would have doubled in size. Knead the dough once gently. Now divide the dough into equal portions, each dough ball should be the size of golf ball.

You can also place the naan in open fire for it to puff and have the tandoor like appearance and taste. Serve it hot with side dish of your choice.
