Whole Wheat Naan
Soft, pillowy naan made with whole wheat flour and a touch of yogurt for tenderness, cooked right in a skillet. A healthier companion to any curry, with far less fat than restaurant naan.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp honey
- 2-3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (as needed)
- 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salt to taste
- 1 tsp olive oil for brushing
Instructions
- Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
- Add yogurt, olive oil, honey, and minced garlic, then stir to combine.
- Knead in almond milk a tablespoon at a time until a soft dough forms.
- Cover and rest the dough 45-60 minutes at room temperature.
- Divide into 2 balls and roll each into an oval about 1/4 inch thick.
- Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
- Cook each naan 1-2 minutes per side until puffed and charred in spots.
- Brush with a little olive oil and sprinkle with cilantro before serving.
