For the naan dough, you need the following ingredients:
- 11g instant dry yeast
- 1 KG all-purpose flour
- 300ml milk
- 150ml water
- 60g yogurt
- ½ cup or 120ml oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp baking soda
Milk and yogurt are optional. You may substitute them with water. But the milk and yogurt make the naans very soft and delicious.
Rest the dough for a minimum of 1 hour after mixing it. When the dough has risen to at least twice its initial size, make the balls. Rest the dough balls for minimum 20 minutes before making the naans.
It’s very easy to bake the naans in the oven. For the desired color on your naans, you may want to apply egg wash or place them under the broiler for few minutes.
