Buttery Garlic Naan Bread<\/strong> is so soft and perfect for mopping up curries, like my Classic Butter Chicken<\/a>. I guarantee you\u2019ll find it hard to stop at one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Garlic Naan Bread recipe is better than the naan you’ll find at the some of the BEST Indian restaurants! These pillowy soft naan breads are so easy, you’ll be making them every weekend. Safe to say, it’s my favourite yeast bread recipe yet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GARLIC NAAN BREAD<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This garlic naan bread recipe is my favourite spin on a traditional flat bread from India. Normally baked inside hot Tandoor ovens with charcoal or wood fire, our naan bread recipe has been altered to cook right on the stove in a hot, cast-iron skillet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We use a combination of yogurt and oil to give them an addictive, soft and fluffy texture and add minced garlic right into the dough to create that unmistakable garlicky flavour. It could just be us but we love <\/em>the way the garlic pairs with the flavours of traditional Indian curries like Tikka Masala Chicken<\/a>, Shrimp Coconut Curry<\/a> and of course, my infamous Homestyle Butter Chicken<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll be amazed as you watch your dough puff up into glorious, bubbly naan right before your eyes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NAAN BREAD VS PITA BREAD<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Both flatbreads are made with a yeast raised dough, however pita bread<\/strong>\u00a0has a harder texture when compared to Naan<\/strong>. While pita bread only contains flour, water, yeast, salt and some olive oil;\u00a0naan<\/strong> is made with a fattier, more enriched dough including ghee (clarified butter), oil, yogurt and sometimes eggs. This gives naan its different texture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
