Ingredients
2
cups
whole wheat flour
1
teaspoon
salt
2
tablespoon
melted ghee
or oil
2
tablespoon
Curd
(yogurt)
1
teaspoon
dry yeast
1
teaspoon
sugar
½
cup
warm water
2
teaspoon
kalonji seeds
(nigella seeds) or white sesame seeds or both
some butter
or ghee for applying on the naan
Instructions
making wheat naan dough
Mix warm water, sugar and yeast in a small bowl.
Cover and keep in a warm place for 10 minutes or so till the mixture rises.
Sieve wheat flour and salt together.
Add curd, ghee and yeast mixture.
Mix and then knead into a smooth and elastic dough.
Apply oil or ghee to all the sides of the dough
Keep the dough in a large bowl covered with a lid in a warm place for 1.5 or 2 hours or more till the dough rises and doubles in size.
Punch the dough and then knead for 5 minutes.
making wheat naan
Divide the dough into medium sized balls and keep aside.
Roll each ball into a 6 to 7 inch circles and pull from one side to give a triangular oblong shape.
Sprinkle kalonji or sesame seeds on top.
Roll over the rolling pin so that the seeds get embedded in the naan.
Bake on a greased tray in a preheated oven for 180 degrees celsius for 3 to 4 minutes or more till you see golden spots on the naan.
Alternatively, these can also be made without an oven. Just cook it the way you make phulkas or rotis.
Remove and apply some ghee or butter on top of them.
Serve the wheat naan hot with any rich curry dish.
Notes
If the dough feels dry, then add some more lukewarm water.
These naans can also be made without an oven. Just cook it the way you make phulkas or rotis.
I made the naans both in the oven and on fire and the ones cooked liked phulkas on the fire were much better as they got a burnt taste and flavor.
