Simple Bread Machine Garlic Naan Bread (from scratch)

Course Side Dish
Cuisine Indian
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 2 hours
Rest time 10 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 5 minutes

Ingredients

Dough

  • 250 ml milk
  • 50 g butter
  • 1 egg
  • 400 g bread flour
  • 7 g dried yeast
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon dried coriander

Garlic Butter

  • 30 g butter
  • 5 garlic cloves (crushed)
  • sea salt
  • fresh coriander (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Add all the dough ingredients (wet first, then dry) to your bread machine and as per manufacturer’s instructions, set the machine to make dough.

  2. When ready, preheat the oven to 225ºC and line one or two large baking trays with parchment paper.

  3. Divide the dough into eight roughly equal amounts. Take each one, roll into a ball and then roll out so that the length is slightly longer than the width (the naans need to be thin because they puff up). Do this with the remaining seven and place onto the prepared trays allowing space between them.

  4. You can either let them rest again (covered with a tea-towel) or bake immediately. They will take around ten minutes and are ready when dark brown spots start to appear. Remove from the oven, take the tea-towel and gently push the air out of them (be careful because the steam is VERY hot).

  5. Mix the softened butter with the crushed garlic. Brush or spread over the warm bread, sprinkle with sea salt and a little fresh coriander. Serve while still warm (keep them covered until ready to eat). Enjoy!
