Whole Wheat Naan

A nutty, simple whole-wheat naan that's absolutely perfect for homemade curries.
Prep: 2 hours 20 minutes
Cook: 5 minutes
Yield:6

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cup white whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup whole milk yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ½ cup milk , warmed to about 100-110ºF
  • 1 1/4- ounce packet of yeast
  • 1 tbsp ghee , for frying and serving

Instructions

  • Sprinkle yeast over milk and set aside for about 10 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Make a well in the center and pour in oil, honey, and yogurt. Lightly mix. Add in milk-yeast mixture and mix until dough comes together. Dough should be soft but not quite sticky.
  • Knead for 7 minutes, adding a bit of flour if necessary. Set aside and allow dough to rest for 2 hours. Dough will slightly expand and become stickier.
  • Divide dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll out on a well-floured surface roll out dough. Thicker naan bubbles less when cooking as compared to thinner naan.
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet on medium-high heat until hot. Add a little spoon of ghee to the skillet. Place one round on the skillet and cover with lid immediately. Allow to cook for 1-2 minutes. Naan will begin to bubble. Flip naan over and cook for another minute.
  • Remove from heat. Repeat until all naan dough has been cooked.
  • Brush with ghee and serve warm.

Notes

Brush with ghee and serve warm.
