Oct 1, 2020 4:56 PM

Ingredients
300g/2 1/3 cup plain flour
200g/scant 1 cup plain yogurt full fat
3/4 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Mix the flour, yogurt, baking powder and salt and knead lightly until a dough forms. Cover with a tea towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Divide into 6-8 portions. Roll out thinly on a generously floured surface. Preheat a frying pan until smoking hot. Dip a bunched up sheet of paper towel into vegetable oil and rub the frying pan with it. Cook each flatbread on high until it bubbles up, it can take up to 1 minute or even longer depending on the heat of your pan. Then flip and cook on the other side for 20-30 seconds longer.

This is almost like my mom's tortilla recipe, except she didn't use yogurt. She used pig lard. God, I miss her tortillas.

I don't have yoghurt, could I use full fat sour cream here instead?

Just use the flour and salt. Moist the mixture and prepare a dough. Keep wet cloth on the dough for 10 minutes. Then proceed as in the video

For more joy, add honey to the dough. It's pure heaven. And listen, if you do it, tell me how it turns out because I just made that up.

How tf do you get it so the dough doesn't stick like glue to the rolling pin? Honest question that always happens to me.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I couldn't. But the lumpy ugly ones where I just gave up and hand shaped them actually had the best texture when cooked.

Flour the rolling pin or put the dough between parchment or wax paper.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

You need to knead your dough more or add less liquid. Powdering your roller and surface with flour helps as well.

You do realise that ‘naan’ translates as ‘bread’ yeah? So saying naan bread you are actually saying, bread bread.

as a Pakistani, not exactly correct. bread="roti" in Urdu. What Americans call "white bread" we call it "double roti"

The resting time is for the cook to cook something for the flatbread

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

For hydration. You can try it out with just flour and water. Mix together and you got a lumpy mess. 30 min later, dough is much better.

5 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

Hydration, chemical leavening (baking soda), & the bacteria in the yogurt.

Yogurt is also a leavener. Adam Regusia just posted a video on this today.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Baking powder acts as a leavening agent because it contains baking soda; which produces Co2 bubbles when mixed with an acid, like yogurt.

which are then thoroughly squeezed out with the rolling pin

Baking powder already contains an acid (cream of tartar) and doesn't need time to activate. The resting is so that the gluten can relax.

5 years ago | Likes 23 Dislikes 0

Also so the bacteria in the yogurt can do a bit of work.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I hate it when my gluten is anxious. Like for real man just chill.

5 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

It also allows the gluten to relax so you get a stretchier dough and chewier bread.
