Sourdough Naan Bread - Delicious and Without Yogurt

Hello,

Today I want to share with ya'll a very simple naan bread recipe using sourdough discard. I don't use yogurt because it makes naan bread heavy in my opinion and I usually eat naan bread with curries or chilis which are already very filling.

We love Indian food and it's hard not to order naan breads when ordering Indian curries, but the problem is even plain naan breads are expensive, and what about if you want garlic naan breads? It's like paying $1 more for a clove of garlic. Since having an actual sourdough starter, this has been a favorite recipe of mine because it is so easy, delicious and way healthier if taking sourdough benefits into account.

I hope you enjoy ❤️

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup of warm water (add more if needed)
1/2 sourdough discard (fed or unfed - it doesn't matter)

STE:

1) In a medium bowl, mix dry ingredients: Flour, salt and sugar

2) In a separate bowl or mug, mix water and sourdough discard, and then pour into the bowl with dry ingredients. Mix well.

** I ended up using more than half a cup of water. In the video, you'll see that my dough definitely needed more water, so I added 3 tablespoons of warm water. Your dough may need more so just add a little bit at a time until you're satisfied.

3) Once everything is incorporated, shape into a bowl and cover. Allow your dough to rest in the fridge overnight or on your countertop for 4-5 hours - it could be more depending on the temperature of your kitchen.

4) Cut your dough in a half and shape into dough balls. Cut each dough ball into 4 equal pieces so a total of 8. Shape into balls and place on a cookie sheet or any flat pan. No need to rest your dough balls. Can go straight to rolling and cooking.

5) Heat up your cast iron skillet WITHOUT oil. I preheated mine for about 5 mins on a low-medium heat setting.

6) Roll each dough ball to about 1.5 mm thick. Don't roll too thin. Cook each side for about 60 seconds depending on the heat of your skillet. You'll know it's time to flip once you see bubbles popping (naan breads are different than tortillas so the bubbles may be smaller)

8) Brush with ghee or melted butter

7) Enjoy with your favorite curry or chili or pretty much any non-watery soup.
