Naan bread ? yeast free

Indian curry requires rice or Naan bread to go along with it. I always wanted to try to bake Naan bread as it is very similar to Pita bread we know in the Mediterranean. I prefer to make the Naan without the yeast though. The dough is fast to make and I could not tell the difference from the version with yeast.

Preheat the oven to maximum. Turn on the broiler.

Mix the dry ingredients well then slowly add the liquid ones kneading them into the dry ones.

Put a baking paper onto the baking tray.

Take small pieces of dough (fist size) and roll them out flat on a floured surface. Take the plat dough with wet hands and get it wet all over. Place in the oven and bake for 4 minutes. The Naan should be light brown and the dough should have risen and bubbled a bit. Now turn and bake on the second side for a minute.

Remove from the oven and repeat the last steps until the dough is used up.

Spread a bit of Ghee onto the hot Naan. This adds flavor and smell. Serve warm with the food.
