Thanks ladies. We will try this out over the weekend
Re: Home made naan
Why is everyone making fun of this guy - my mum makes naan without yeast! She uses self-raising flour, salt and a bit of oil mixed together with warm water. I tried it once but only problem was I put the atta in the fridge when I should have left it in a warm place so it would rise. But still the naans came out nice… just didn’t rise that well lol
having a tandoori oven also helps!
Re: Home made naan
Self rising flour has baking soda which would be alternative of yeast. In short, you need something that will help the dough to rise.
Re: Home made naan
But it’s not yeast is it? So yes you can make without yeast ![]()
Re: Home made naan
You must use different sized cups for flour and milk. If they are of same size, then its only 17% hydration. Am pretty sure we need atleast 25% hydration for desi breads. Or maybe you meant 3/4 cup milk?
Re: Home made naan
The recipe I used asked for almost 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup water. I felt that was making the dough too sticky so I reduced it to 1/2 cup milk. If i feel the dough is dry, I just sprinkle couple tbsps of water. But the 1/2 cup works very well for me. I feel you can always add more liquid if needed but you can’t take it out once it is in the flour.
Re: Home made naan
That is what we do as well! First on a hot tava until it is bubbly then finish it off in the oven (broil option not bake)
Re: Home made naan
Over night 12 of them please. I am PMing my address.
Re: Home made naan
I usually make mine just on the tawa… and instead of fresh milk, i use powdered milk :k:
Re: Home made naan
3/4 cup worked well for me. But instead of naan, slapped some prego traditional sauce and mozarella cheese on it and baked it on a pizza stone. Kids loved it!
Re: Home made naan
Okay, here is my attempt. My oven wasn’t the best. My first naan burnt to a crisp so it took me more than one go. I am nor at expert level yet, you guys are way ahead. ![]()

Re: Home made naan
