1. Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, fruit salt, regular salt, milk and water.
- Add the yogurt and mix well.
- Gradually add warm milk/water and knead to form a soft, pliable dough. You may need to adjust the water or flour slightly.
- Add olive oil or melted plant butter and knead for another 5-7 minutes.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 1 hour.
2. Shape the Naan:
- After resting, divide the dough into 4-6 equal portions.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into an oval or circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Cook the Naan:
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, place one naan on the skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
- Flip the naan and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. You can press down slightly with a spatula for even cooking.
- Optionally, brush the cooked naan with melted butter or ghee and sprinkle with garlic or herbs.
4. Serve:
- Repeat the cooking process for the remaining naan.
- Serve warm with your favorite curry or dip.
Tips
- For a softer naan, you can use a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour.
- You can also bake naan in a preheated oven at 500°F (260°C) for about 5-7 minutes on a baking stone or sheet.
