So, do you remember how I said I wanted to try to make my own naan? Guess what….
Now I’d like to tell you that I have a 100 good uses for naan. That I know all sorts of delicious sauce and/or traditional Indian recipes I serve alongside naan. But, in truth… I mostly just make pizza out of them.
Pizza naan is awesome. It’s like pita pizza… but, like, a little better.
The secret’s out.
And this naan was really fun (and easy) to make. It was even easier than homemade tortillas. Less rolling-pin action. 
Naan, makes 8-10 servings. Recipe slightly adapted from here.
Needed: 3 3/4 cups flour, 1/4 cup whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 2 cups greek yogurt.
In a bowl combine the flours, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine. Stir in the yogurt until crumbly. Lightly flour your work surface and plop the crumbly dough on to it. Use your (clean) hands to knead the dough until it is more elastic and cohesive. Cover and allow to rest for 30 minutes to an hour.
Divide the dough into 8 to 10 pieces (depending how big you like your naan) and roll out until it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Heat a cast iron or non stick skillet over medium high heat, lay the naan in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, flip and cook another 2-3 minutes. Once you’ve cooked all the pieces lay them on a baking sheet and bake at 400 F for 8-10 minutes to finish cooking them through.

), but you convinced me i will try it out!
(New blog needing some love: http://inwhirlofinspiration.blogspot.com)

Those sound so yummy! I may have to give them try. xo, rv

I’ve learnt a lot from this. A) that naan is not as complicated as it looks and B) you make naan with yoghurt! Wow. Love your blog.
I have never head of this bread either but it looks pretty healthy. Wonder if you could up the whole wheat flour a bit.
oh thank you for the recipe!! I was just saying last night that I want to make naan but forgot the recipe. Yummm!
This looks awesome! Just today I made and blogged about the Thai tofu pizza I made for dinner using naan. Next time I will definitely be using your recipe rather than buying it from Trader Joe’; thank you (:
I just made the tortillas today and dang were they amazing! I actually have a bit if a gut-ache from eating about 6 of them today;) they were so easy and if you say these are easier…I’m on board! I love naan but is always so overpriced at the store! Can’t wait!!!!
oh my gosh I LOVE naan. THANKS
made with greek yogurt? easier than tortillas? pizza, pizza? i’m dying, in a totally good way.
Love this! I buy the frozen naan at Trader Joes and it’s amazing, but this looks so so easy. Thanks Emma!
Naan is sooo addictive! Every time I buy it I intend to make naan pizza but I end up munching on a little piece here and a little piece there until it’s disappeared. Maybe if I used your recipe and learned to make it it would hang around long enough to get under some pizza toppings
whoo I loveee Butter, cheese and garlic naans…hell i love all naans! Luckily, living in Sri Lanka means you get the authentic type, made in earthenware…it looks a little different to what you’ve put up though I’m sure what you made was delicious too!

I love naans!!!!! Can’t wait to make those
Homemade naan!!! I can’t wait to try this with a little bit of garlic infused into the mix!
Looks delicious! And sounds easy enough to make – will have to try this – I love Naan! Thanks!
Alas! I have made naan a few times but I save it for special occasions because it is so involved. I’ll have to give this recipe a go. Thanks!
on my to-bake-list!
How funny! I was just telling my housemates how I planned to make a huge curry tomorrow night as a treat for handing in my essay. Looks like I’ll be having fresh naan to go with it now
Love that it uses wholewheat flour too!
I LOVE Naan but never thought of making it myself. I just assumed it was going to be really tricky. I will definitely give this a go! Thanks, Emma.

Love, live, love naan bread! For me it’s the best bit about having a curry : )
Thanks Emma… this will be a must try at our place (the kids eat too much of it not to try and do it ourselves).
I’ve never had naan but I really, really need to try! I see it all the time!

Excellent! So glad you tried it out and are sharing it with us now. Thanks!
I just had my first Naan attempt last week as well; Isn’t it amazing how simple it is?! I’m glad it was one of your 52 breads, because it’s a great one to know!
Can’t wait to get home from work and try this!!!!!!
Mmmm tengo que hacer esta receta!! Que apetecible!!
Naan pizza IS awesome. We love it. We have some great recipes on our site too. Great work on making your naan!

I love making naan. It has so much flavor.

I’m excited to try this recipe! Do you think for a vegan version I could substitute soy or amande yogurt for the greek yogurt? Or maybe tofu?
Oh my goodness, I am so excited about getting this recipe I’m re-blogging it. I love naan bread because it contains no yeast and it is the perfect accompaniment for stir-fry, soup, basically anything that needs a bit of bread on the side. Serve it hot with butter and it melts in your mouth. Only one shop in our town sells naan and I have wanted to know how to make it for the longest time. Thank you, and thank you again.
