butter naan with yeast / naan without tandoor

Majority of the restaurants in India have naan as the top listed item and we never miss to order it every single time. Including me my whole family likes it. Its an excellent comforting food on the list. I have already tried this naan several times without yeast but not yet recorded for my blog. This variation now I have tried is butter naan with yeast and it has really turned out to be too good. In restaurants they will have a tandoor to do this naan. At home means not all will have this tandoor

so try this stove top method which is equally good. If the pan you select is too heavy then you will find it difficult to turn it each time. Better select a light weighted indolium pan. I find it very easy to flip upside down, its a curved pan not the dosa pan which is thick enough not to burn the food. Proofing the yeast is the next fearful factor for many but if the yeast is old then its not going to proof. Check for the expiry date before making the yeast to proof and also the right temperature is important(you should be able to bear the heat when you dip the finger). Make this butter naan recipe with yeast without fail you will definitely enjoy.

Notes

Choose a less weight pan so that it will be easy to invert and for me indolium pan works best.
You can mix some finely chopped coriander with the dough itself and make naan.
Try making naan with half and half maida wheat flour mixture.
Don’t burn the naan it should be rightly cooked for better taste.
Baking soda can be skipped its optional.
Yeast should be rightly proofed for good results.
