FAQs
1. Can I use plain flour instead of self-rising flour?
You can use plain flour, but you will need to add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt to mimic the effect of self-rising flour.
2. Can I make this naan gluten-free?
Yes, you can use gluten-free self-rising flour as a substitute to make gluten-free naan. Just ensure that the yogurt you use is also gluten-free.
3. Can I add flavor to the naan dough?
Yes, you can add garlic, herbs (such as cilantro), or spices (like cumin) to the dough to enhance the flavor.
4. How do I know when the naan is cooked through?
The naan is done when both sides are golden brown and slightly puffed. You can also check the texture to ensure it’s soft and cooked all the way through.
5. Can I make this naan in advance?
You can make the naan in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat it on a skillet or in the microwave before serving.
6. Can I use flavored yogurt instead of plain Greek yogurt?
You can use flavored yogurt, but it may alter the taste of the naan. Plain Greek yogurt is best to keep the naan neutral in flavor.
7. Can I bake this naan instead of cooking it in a skillet?
Yes, you can bake the naan at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, but cooking it in a skillet gives it the best texture and flavor.
8. Can I freeze the naan dough?
Yes, you can freeze the dough before cooking it. Just shape the dough into balls, wrap them tightly, and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to cook, thaw in the fridge overnight and then cook as usual.
9. How can I make the naan extra soft?
Make sure to roll out the dough gently and not too thin. Cooking at a medium-high heat also ensures the bread stays soft.
10. Can I use a non-stick skillet?
Yes, you can use a non-stick skillet. Just make sure it’s heated well before cooking the naan to get a nice golden crust.
