Fresh Milled Naan Bread
Naan is an enriched bread dough that uses yogurt and not yeast for leavening.
Ingredients
- 255 g wheat berries, hard white any bread grain could work here
- 255 g wheat berries, soft white any soft grain works here
- 280 g yogurt
- 175 g milk
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp sugar
- 50 g olive oil
Instructions
- Mix well into a soft dough. If it feels dry, add more liquid until you get a soft or slightly sticky dough. I used Greek yogurt so I needed to add some extra liquid compared to when I used regular yogurt the time before.
- Let the dough rest, covered, so it can fully absorb everything.
- Knead it for a few minutes (not even 5). I did this entirely in my wooden bowl with a danish dough whisk.
- Divide into 8-12 dough balls depending on what size you want them. Roll flat, and cook on a skillet over medium-high heat 1 minute, then flip and do the other side.
- Brush with melted butter, with garlic or parsley if you like.
Notes
Notice how instead of the yeast we used 2 tsp leavening split between baking powder and baking soda? The yogurt acts as the acid for the baking soda. This doesn’t need two rises, just mix it, let it rest, roll out and finish in the pan!
I’d argue you could skip the rest if you’re in a hurry. I’ll be chilling the dough till tomorrow and make them then since I already made dinner.
