This is a classic flat bread of India. We have this almost every time we cook an Indian meal. This is based on a recipe from Madge Rosenberg's The Best Bread Machine Cookbook Ever — Ethnic Breads .

8 naan (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Topping

Directions

  1. 1
    Add all ingredients except the butter and black sesame seeds in the order recommended for your bread machine. Process using the dough cycle.
  2. 2
    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. When the dough cycle ends, remove the dough from the machine and divide into 8 pieces. On a floured surface with a floured rolling pin, roll each piece into an 8-by-4-inch oval. Cover and let rise 20 minutes, or until doubled.
  3. 3
    Melt the butter for the topping. Brush the top of each naan with butter and sprinkle witht sesame seeds. Bake 7 to 10 minutes, or until golden. Lightly brush the bottom of each naan with water, stack, and cover, or eat as soon as they are cool enough to handle.

great recipe I only get 6 from this - just what I was looking for - I use it as a flatbread and flatbread pizza - as long as you do not over cook and use a COOKIE SHEET the bread is very pliable. I also used sour cream instead of yogurt - my kids love rolling them out and filling htme

    I found this too runny for my machine, I needed to add more flour to get it to make a decent pliable dough ball. Rolling it out was also a challenge because of that, but the end result was pretty good!

    We love naan bread,and I've been testing different recipes for them for a while.This is the first bread machine recipe that I have come across.I used greek yogurt ( in the fridge and needed to be used) and instead of sesame seeds,I used black onion seed. My bread was very tasty,but didn't really come out like a naan bread should.Mine was really soft and more like regular bread than leavened bread. I AM going to try again,as it's a good,easy recipe,and I'm sure next time I'll get it right. Thanks Mersaydees.

    I have to admit my first attempt at this was a disaster...when I got from errands the ingredients were still in the bottom of the bread maker even though it said the dough cycle had completed. DOH indeed! Fortunately, this recipe is easy and speedy done by hand as well as machine. I proofed the yeast in the milk with the sugar, then added all else and kneaded for a few minutes before a first rise. Followed the directions to a "T" after punching it down, and it worked out fine! In trying to "health" them up a bit I skimped on the butter spread and now wish I hadn't--this is a very basic bread that needs the saltiness of the butter to come alive. Next time I will experiment more with things like minced garlic, onion, etc. Thanks for posting! Made for the October 2008 Veg*n swap.
