the Hairy Bikers naan bread is nice and easy to make. Also freezes OK. Quite tasty, but not as soft as shop bought. Perhaps i didnt kneed enough??

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

From reading through other similar posts, it seems like results vary a lot with hand made bread recipes- I guess it's a case of finding a recipe that works for you.

I really like the idea of being able to pull out HM naan bread from the freezer to go with a curry.

I have made really authentic tasting naan in my Panny, but I used a different recipe.

This recipe comes from the book "Bread Machines & Beyond" by Jenny Shapter.

In the Breadpan
1 tsp easy blend yeast
280g Strong White Flour
4 tbsp natural yoghurt
1 garlic clove finely chopped
1 tsp black onion seeds (v cheap from indian supermarket)
1tsp ground coriander
1tsp salt
2 tsp clear honey
1 tbsp melted butter (or ghee)
100ml water

After the Panny has done its work
1tbs fresh coriander

a little melted butter for glazing the cooked naan

Method
1.Put the ingredients in your breadpan, starting with the yeast, then the flour, then the others (normal order for Panny).

2. Put the machine on the pizza dough cycle (45 mins for the Panny)

3. When finished, put your oven on to pre-heat on its highest setting, and put baking sheets in there. Tip out the dough onto a floured board, punch down, and knead in 1tbsp fresh coriander. Divide the dough in three pieces

4. Shape each pece into a ball. Work with one, keeping the other two covered while you do so. Roll out into a large teardrop shape, about 1/4 in to 1/2 in thick

5. At this point, put you grill on to its highest setting too.

6. Put the nan in the hot oven on the preheated baking sheets for 4 to 5 mins. They will puff up.

7. Remove the baking sheet(s) from the oven, and put them under the grill for a few seconds, until the naan start to brown and blister.

8. Brush with melted ghee or butter, and serve warm.

For a plain naan, omit the coriander, garlic and black onion seeds.

Absolutely lovely!

Well I don't have a BM (shock horror lol) but I do have a food processor, so 2 of your recipe nanns are currenly waiting on the worktop for the oven & pizza stone to hot up. They look delish and smell even better. Can't wait to try them!

Just a quick question,

I made a batch of naan dough earlier, the recipe used natural yoghurt and milk along with other ingredients.

I know you can freeze pizza dough etc but not sure about this because of the milk and yoghurt

Will I be able to freeze this, the batch should make 4 I thought a friend was coming for dinner but they're not anymore so I only need 1 for me and don't want the rest to go to waste!!

If I can't freeze the raw dough could I cook the naans and freeze them that way?

Thanks all :beer:

i think i read that you can freeze the dough but if you freeze the naans after they are cooked i was told to freeze them seperately

Thanks will freeze the dough portioned out then

I roll the dough out into a teardrop shape then freeze, they defrost very quickly and I think they taste much nicer cooked just before eating.
