METHOD:
To Make The Dough (STAND MIXER METHOD)
-
Set your stand mixer up with a dough hook.
-
Place the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar into the bowl of your stand mixer and mix on low to combine.
-
Pour in the water and oil and mix on low for 10 minutes until you have an elastic dough.
-
Cover the bowl with cling film and leave it to rise for 20 minutes.
To Make Dough (BY HAND METHOD)
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
-
Add the water and oil, then use a fork or butter knife to combine all the ingredients, once you have a raggy-looking dough, start using your hands to bring the dough together, until the sides of the bowl are clean.
-
Empty the dough on a floured board and knead the dough for 15 minutes.
-
Place in a bowl, cover with cling wrap, and leave for 20 minutes.
To Form and Cook The Dough
-
Once the dough has sat for 20 minutes, punch it back down and then divide the dough into three roughly equal balls.
-
Place one ball on a floured board and use your hands or a rolling pin to form the naan bread into oval/teardrop shapes (ensure they will fit in your skillet/griddle). (see note 4)
-
Put a heavy skillet/griddle over high heat and allow it to get searingly hot.
-
Place the dough onto the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, it should start to puff up and charr lightly.
-
Flip the bread and cook for a further 1-2 minutes.
-
Remove to a plate and drizzle with the garlic butter.
-
Cover with foil and keep in a low oven whilst you prepare the other bread.
