Topic: First attempt at Naan Bread

[976bar]

My very first attempt at a Naan bread today. I'm not sure who's recipe this is or whether I even got if from this site,but have decided to spend some time exploring these.

Given that we have an Impinger oven, 3 different types of oven (one waiting to be commissioned) and a stove top, gives me a few options of trying these out.

The mixture seemed ok, but the final taste was lacking in something for me. I did not add enough salt and I don't think there was enough yogurt. I ended up making 1kg of plain flour and multiplied everything by 8. I did not need all the fluid yeast.

The dough mixture was left for an hour and a half in a warm climate and I cooked about 4 on the Impinger oven, starting at 302 degrees centigrade for 3 minutes. The naan was over cooked so, reduced the time to 2 minutes 20, the naan was still over cooked, so dropped the time down to 2 minutes dead and it was undercooked. 2 minutes 10 produced the cooked naan I was looking for and then went on to add garlic slices, finely chopped chilli and coriander leaves. BUT... It still was not right for me... I think the cooking process was good, even though I will try other methods, but I am thinking some other recipes to try first.

Bob, why not save yourself a lot of trouble and try the H4ppy Naans

[mickdabass]

I second that Garp. Got to be one of the best recipes on here IMO

[curryhell]

I'll third it.  Just have a look at the thread Bob.  You really can't go wrong with this recipe, tweaking it to your own tastes if necessary

I get half a day off tomorrow, I'll take a look if I get time.

I did ask earlier if anyone could post the recipe ingredients as right now I just don't have 27 minutes to watch the video

I could work out the process if I knew the ingredients as we make a heck of a lot of bread now in our kitchen, which we are experimenting with

You didn't ask it in this thread, my friend. But I think you did in another, which was answered, very promptly by Phil, I believe

I don't think I have ever transcribed H@ppy Chris's naan recipe, but I did do some work on Uncle Buck's.
