Recipe Description
Servings: 4 loaves
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups lukewarm water
- 2 tsp Red Star Active Dry Yeast
- 5 1/2 cups all purpose flour plus more for dusting the work surface with
- 1 tbsp Kosher salt
- 1/2 cup minced garlic From a jar is easier
- 3/4 cup green onion sliced finely
- 1 tbsp Olive oil for brushing the dough
Instructions
- Fill a medium sized bowl with the water and sprinkle the yeast on top of it.
- Whisk the yeast until it’s dissolved.
- Add 3 cups of the flour, salt, garlic and green onion and stir with a heavy spatula or wooden spoon until smooth.
- Add the remaining flour. Stir again until well combined and the dough comes together into a ball.
- Dust a clean work surface with some flour and dump out the dough.
- Start to knead the dough dusting with more flour if things get sticky.
- Once the dough is a round ball, about 2-3 minutes of kneading, place the dough back into the bowl it came from making sure to lightly oil the bowl with a little olive oil to prevent the dough sticking.
- Cover the dough and let rise in a warm area for 1 1/2 hours or until almost doubled in size.
- Transfer the dough back out onto your floured work surface and punch down into a rough circle shape.
- Cut the dough into 4 pieces.
- Prepare a large baking tray with parchment paper or a baking mat and dust lightly with flour
- Using your fingers stretch and work each piece of dough into a long oval shape about 8 inches long and 6 inches wide.
- Lay each piece onto your prepared baking pan and brush each piece of naan lightly with some olive oil.
- Preheat the oven to 550 degrees or as hot as you can get it.
- Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or longer if you like it more crusty. Check the bottom of the bread for a dark color.
- Once the naan has finished baking, transfer it to a plate and cover with a clean towel to stay warm.
- The bread is best served warm and can be reheated covered in foil in a 350 degree oven for 5-7 minutes.
