Naan is a recipe staple. Just a few ingredients and a No.9 Griddle and you'll have delicious fluffy naan bread that's perfect for curries, gyros, or stews. We love the No.9 griddle for naan and other flat breads! It’s large enough to fit a couple of pieces at once, and the flat surface and low edges make adding and removing naan a breeze.
The Field Method for Cast Iron Care
Add yeast and sugar to warm water and mix. Set aside until mixture is foamy: 5-10 minutes.
In a separate bowl, add flour, salt, and baking powder and mix until combined. Add yogurt and oil to the yeast mixture and stir to combine. Add liquids to dry ingredients and mix to form a sticky dough.
Flour a surface and knead dough a few times. . . add flour if necessary to keep dough from sticking. Form dough into a loose ball. Place dough in a mixing bowl and rub with oil to coat. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let rise for 2 hours, or until it has roughly doubled in size.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times. Divide into 8 pieces-the bench scraper is a great tool for this!
Form each piece into a loose ball, and then cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
Heat the No.9 griddle over medium heat. Roll each ball on a floured surface until it forms an oval about ⅛” to ¼” thick. Pat the dough with a little water and place the wet side of the dough onto the hot griddle.
Cook until dough begins to bubble (1 to 1.5 minutes). Flip and cook the other side until the bubbles are deep golden brown.
Remove from the griddle and brush with melted butter. Add chopped garlic, salt, and cilantro if desired.
