Easy naan bread recipe [no yeast]
There's nothing better than soft buttery naan bread to mop up curries or sauce. Or even to use as wraps. This recipe is so easy and it only has two ingredients!
Ingredients
- 260 g self-raising flour
- 200 g Greek yoghurt
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- Butter for serving
Instructions
- Get a large bowl and add the flour and the sea salt. Mix together with a fork.
- Then add the Greek yoghurt. Using a spoon, roughly mix together, until it is combined.
- Now it's time to use your hands. With your fingers, work the flour into the yoghurt so it begins to form a dough. Make sure to scrape the dough down the sides of the bowl so all the ingredients are well combined.
- Keep working the dough so that it becomes drier, and you can form a smooth ball. It takes around 5 minutes.
- Flour your work surface or wooden board and cut 6 equal portions. Or if you're not bothered that they have to be exact sizes, you can just pinch approximately the same size portions when you're ready to roll.
- The dough can be used straight away but I find that it is easier to work with if you leave it covered in the fridge for 30 minutes or so.
- When you're ready to make your naan bread, take a portion and roll it into a ball in your palm. Once you're happy, use the flat of your hand and press down on the ball so it becomes a circle shape.
- Place the portion onto your work surface or board, and using a floured rolling pin or velan, then roll the portion out until you're happy with the size. Remember it doesn't have to be perfectly round.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan on a high heat. You don't not need any oil.
- Carefully place the naan into the pan. After a few minutes, you'll notice the bread will start to bubble and puff up. This is good! Using a fish slice or similar, press the bubbles down to get the air out. Flip over, and you'll see the naan begin to colour with brown spots.
- Do the same on the other side for a few more minutes and you're naan is done.
- Keeping the butter in its pack, just rub the end over the naan bread so the butter melts over the top.
- You can keep the naans warm in foil as you continue to make the others.
- Sprinkle with coriander.

Notes
Love garlic naans? Why not make some garlic butter to brush over the top of this simple naan bread. Crush a garlic clove and add to 2 tablespoons of butter. Melt in the microwave and then brush over the naan bread before serving.
