Description

This is a great recipe for naan bread that you need quickly. It's made with ingredients you are likely to have and because of the large amount of yeast, it has a short rise time so you can have bread ready in an one hour.

Ingredients

450g Bread flour
7g rapid rise yeast
2 tsp salt
350ml warm water
1 Tbsp olive oil

Directions

Mix the flour in a bowl with salt and the yeast. Add the water and oil then mix to a rough dough and let it sit for 5 mins. If using a stand mixer I found that using the paddle instead of a dough hook worked best because of how wet this dough is.

Place the dough on a floured surface and lightly flour the top before kneading. Lightly knead the dough for about two minutes, lightly flouring if it starts to stick too much. Your goal is to get the dough fully mixed and smooth, so be light when kneading to help prevent it from getting too sticky. If you need to, just sprinkle a little more flour on the dough. Knead the dough for 2 minutes on a floured surface until smooth. Let it sit for 10 minutes covered with oiled plastic wrap. A couple minutes before the the rise finishes you can start warming up your cast iron skillet so it will be evenly heated for the next step. I like to heat a cast iron skillet or non stick pan on high heat. You might heat the pan on medium if and turn up to high as you get closer to cooking.

Cut the dough in to 8 even pieces and roll each one out to about 1/4" thickness. Depending on the size of your skillet, roll out as many pieces as you can cook at a time. While they are cooking you can work on rolling out the next batch. Cook each piece of bread for 1 ½-2 mins per side or until golden.
