RECIPE INGREDIENTS

» For Afghan Naan:

• 3 cups Bread flour + 1 tablespoon
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 packed (7 grams) Quick rising yeast
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 2 tablespoons cooking Oil
• 1 cup Warm water, plus more as needed for needing dough
• 1 teaspoon Nigella seeds for topping (kalonji) (optional)
• Butter for brushing naan (optional)

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» Making Naan Dough:

1. Mix 1 cup of warm water, yeast, and sugar and let it sit for 10 minutes or until it is foamy.
2. Combine flour, salt, and oil in large a mixing bowl, and mix well.
3. Pour the yeast mixture into the bowl and begin mixing using a wooden spatula.
4. When the dough is about to come together, use your hands to knead well for 5 minutes.
5. Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and let it sit in a warm place 1-2 hours.

» Baking Afghan Naan:

1. Preheat the oven at 200°c/400°F. Punch down the dough.
2. Divide it into 2 equal parts.
3. Combine 1 tablespoon flour + 5 tablespoons water and mix well to make a liquid lump-free mixture.
4. Apply some flour mixture to your hands to flatten a ball into an oval.
5. The oval should be about 10-12 inches long and about 1/4-inch thick.
6. Draw tines with an opener or fork to make the desired pattern.
7. Sprinkle nigella seeds, and bake Afghan naan for 8-10 minutes or until brown.
8. At this stage naan is ready, but I like to broil it for 2 minutes. (I have made both broiled and non-broiled versions of this bread. And I love them both.)
9. Apply butter and wrap them in a tea towel or cloth to keep them warm and soft.
10. Enjoy with your favorite curry.
