Most days I walk back home from university. To do this I have to walk down the curry mile in Manchester. I love the smells down this road however it makes me crave curry so much! More specifically, it makes me crave naan bread so much! The only problem is that nann bread is quite expensive and the ones from takeaway curry houses tend to be quite unhealthy.
So I decided to make some myself. Real naan is quite difficult to make so I found a recipe that is slightly cheating but it is healthier, quicker and makes delicious bread.
Naan bread is just made up of flour, yeast, salt, oil and water. The following recipe makes 2 medium-sized naan breads.
125g strong white flour
about 3g yeast
½ tp salt
1 tsp olive oil
100ml water
Simply add all the ingredients together and knead for about 5-10 minutes. The dough is quite wet so be patient! You then just need to leave the dough to double in size, this takes about an hour. Once risen, knock the dough back and divide into 2 pieces.
Leave the dough to rest for 10 minutes. Pre heat your oven at 220°. Place the pieces of dough on a lined baking tray and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until slightly golden on top. Once cooked you can easily freeze them and they’re keep for a good 3 months. Enjoy!
