Lockdown Flatbread
2 Ingredient Naan
I call it lockdown flatbread/Naan because this was a very popular recipe during Covid lockdown. Yeast was very difficult to get find, therefore this recipe was perfect. I wasn’t sure about it at first, I was pleasantly surprised. The Naan were soft, fluffy and delicious. I don’t think I’ll be buying ready made naan again.
Ingredients
• 4 cups self-rising flour
• 1 ½ cups yogurt
• 1 tsp salt (optional)
• water (if needed)
Method
Combine the self-rising flour, yogurt and salt if using in the bowl. Mix the ingredients until the dough starts to form this can be done by hand or with an electric mixer with a dough hook. If the dough is dry, add 1 tablespoon of water. Continue to knead and bring the dough together. If the dough is still not coming together , add more water till you have a soft dough.
Place the dough out onto a large, lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece gently out until it is about 1/3 inch in thickness and has a 6-inch diameter. Dust with plenty of flour as you roll because the dough may stick.
Place a griddle pan or frying pan on high heat and let it get hot. Cook the flatbread/naan on each side for 2 minutes. Naan should puff up and have a light char. If desired, brush each side with olive oil or butter and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.
Variations
Garlic Naan
Once the first side of the naan is cooked, flip the naan over and brush the cooked side with olive oil, sprinkle with about 1/4 teaspoon of coriander and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic. When the second side is cooked, flip the garlic side onto the griddle surface for just a few seconds.
Sesame Naan
To make sesame naan: brush with a little olive oil when the naan is done cooking and sprinkle 1 side with sesame seeds. Place the sesame seed side of the naan onto the cooking surface for just a few seconds to seal the sesame seeds into the surface of the naan.
Chilli Naan
To make chilli naan: brush with a little olive oil when the naan is done cooking and sprinkle 1 side with chilli flakes. Place the chilli flakes side of the naan onto the cooking surface for just a few seconds to seal the chilli flakes into the surface of the naan.
