3 Ingredient Naan Bread – No Yeast

Josh — Sat, 24 Dec 2022 13:30:15 +0000

Plain full fat yogurt gives this dough a pillowy, stretchy texture, and cooking it over high heat gives this naan bread a great blistered surface. Finish by brushing with ghee or butter

You don’t need a tandoor oven, bread machine, or any other special equipment to make these naan. A cast iron skillet or frying pan will allow the naan to puff up nicely. As for mixing the dough, a stand mixer will make the kneading easier, but you can just as easily use your hands.

For a vegan version use dairy-free Greek yogurt and gluten-free self-rising flour.
