Description

Multigrain Naan is a flavorful and nutritious twist on traditional Indian flatbread. Made with a blend of whole wheat and other grains, this soft and chewy bread is perfect for pairing with curries, dips, or enjoying on its own.


Ingredients

  1. 1 cup warm water (110°F/45°C)
    2 teaspoons active dry yeast
    1 tablespoon sugar or honey
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup rolled oats or multigrain flour
    1/4 cup plain yogurt
    2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
    1 teaspoon salt
    Optional toppings: melted butter, minced garlic, chopped cilantro

Instructions

Activate Yeast: In a bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar or honey. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, oats or multigrain flour, and salt.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add yeast mixture, yogurt, and olive oil or butter to the dry ingredients. Mix to form a soft dough.
  3. Knead Dough: Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. First Rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  5. Divide and Shape: Punch down dough and divide into 6-8 equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into an oval or tear shape about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Cook Naan: Heat a skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for 1-2 minutes on one side until bubbles form, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown spots appear. Optional: brush with melted butter and sprinkle garlic or cilantro.
  7. Serve Warm: Serve naan warm with your favorite curries or dips.

Notes

  1. Brush cooked naan with garlic butter and sprinkle fresh herbs for garlic naan.
  2. Fill naan with spiced potatoes, paneer, or cheese for stuffed naan.
  3. Use gluten-free flours and xanthan gum, adjusting hydration for gluten-free version.
  4. Add chopped cilantro, mint, or parsley to dough for herbed naan.
  5. Store naan in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  6. Freeze cooled naan in zip-top bags for up to 1 month.
  7. Reheat naan in skillet or oven wrapped in foil until heated through.
