Homemade Sourdough Naan Bread: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Lana
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 cup active sourdough starter
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– ¾ cup water (adjust as needed)
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon sugar
– 2 tablespoons yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
– Optional: seasoning (e.g., garlic, herbs, or nigella seeds) for flavor


Instructions

Creating Homemade Sourdough Naan Bread is as easy as following these simple steps:

1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, flour, salt, sugar, yogurt, and olive oil. Gradually add water until you form a sticky dough.
2. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. You can add more flour if the dough is too sticky, but be careful not to add too much.
3. First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise at room temperature for about 2-3 hours or until it doubles in size.
4. Preheat the Pan: Heat a cast-iron skillet or your preferred cooking vessel over medium-high heat while your dough is rising.
5. Divide the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently. Divide it into equal portions (about 6-8, depending on your desired size).
6. Shape the Naan: Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten and stretch them into oval or round shapes, in any thickness you prefer.
7. Cook the Naan: Place one naan on the hot skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until bubbly and golden brown. You may want to brush the top with a little butter or olive oil for added flavor.
8. Keep Warm: Remove the cooked naan and place them in a warm dish covered with a towel while you cook the remaining pieces. This ensures they stay soft and warm.
