Easy Quick Naan Bread (Healthy and Tasty)
Greetings everyone,
This past week I was alittle sick so I made some lentil soup and naan bread.
I went in the kitchen for a quick and easy kitchen adventure to discover making naan, a favorite of mine. This naan I was going to make had no leavening or oil,just a few tablespoons for cooking on the stove top and a few ingredients. It was seriously and wildly awesome. Check out the recipe below.
Ingredients
3 cups of unbleached flour
3 tablespoons of organic plain or vanilla yogurt
2 tablespoons of coconut milk
2/3 to 3/4 cups of water (add as needed)
2 teaspoons of honey or evaporated cane sugar
For cooking
griddle,skillet or frying pan (or a tandoori oven what it's traditionally cooked in)
a few tablespoons of coconut oil or unsalted butter (as needed)
Additional Ingredients
a handful of parsley
tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseed (optional) (you can add this in the dough on sprinkle on during the cooking process)
Mix the wet ingredients together and the sugar. Next add the dry ingredients. Mix and form a ball out of the dough. Set it aside for a minute covered. Heat up your skillet or frying pan add a couple of tablespoons of oil or butter for frying. Take your dough and make a couple of medium sized balls and roll them out to be oval shaped to four or five inch ovals. Fry them in the frying pan sprinkle parsley over them while cooking. Brown on both sides brush with additional butter or oil if you like. You can also bake these on a greased cooking sheet at about 450 degrees,instead of frying,but I don't know if the results will be the same,but they will still be tasty. Enjoy with soup or Indian dishes!

Disclaimer : I am not a chef just an experimental chef, I learn as I go and cook. I don't use baking soda or baking powder,little salt and leave out most leavening agents.
I am not a nutritionist, but I cook from what I've learned about health and nutrition. I cook in small batches so you can double the recipe to make more.Thanks for reading!Please comment below or share any similar recipes you might have.
