I know I’ve waxed poetic in the past about how making bread is SO FUN and I just love doing it.
That being said it also scares the bejeezus out of me. I mean, most homemade breads need time to let the dough grow (scary!) and then you have to knead it and then you have to bake it and then I realize I live at high altitude and therefore all bread is going to be slightly different than the recipe. It’s exhausting, and I tend to have minor freak-outs whenever I decide that it’s time to bust into the bread-making scene again.
One would wonder, as I’m sure Nate does, why in the world I make bread then.
Because it’s FUN darnit!
Also I have a confession to make. I read a lot of really great blogs and find myself saying almost every time that I can’t wait to try something and then promptly bookmarking said recipe. And then it takes me for-e-ver to get around to making it. For this I am sorry…I really do want to make everything I see! I think I might have tried once too…and then realized that making food also encompasses both buying and eating the food. And there’s just not enough room in my tummy or my wallet for it all the time. But a girl can dream, right?
Right!
So when, several months ago, I found this recipe on Tasty Kitchen for Homemade Naan I gasped from excitement – it doesn’t have yeast! You can just use regular things you already have in your kitchen! You get to char the bread over a burner! What’s not to be excited about?
And let me tell you, this was killer. I loved how soft and supple the bread is, and although I got a little char-happy it just added great flavor.
Homemade naan y’all, it’s where it’s at.
I love making naan! And it usually makes a ton – I’m always wanting more when I’m at a restaurant. 🙂
This has been on my list for a long time. I need to get with it!
I’ve seen naan all over the place but have yet to try it… this homemade version looks delicious!
I just had Indian food last night. Sadly, I only snagged one piece of naan. Thanks for posting this so I can satisfy my naan craving!
Oooh, now here’s a bread I might be able to make on my own. Alas, no yogurt in my fridge or I think I’d start making some now. Naan is delicious!
Lovely recipe! I’ll have to bookmark this!
I do the same thing! I bookmark so many recipes and then forget to reference them when meal planning. I have like a bazillion of yours in my folder.
between this and (never home) maker’s banana naan I need some Indian food and naan stat!
Looks amazing!
I love Naan!! It’s one of those breads I can’t stop eating 🙂
Oh no, this recipe is dangerous!! Whenever I go to Indian restauarants I go to town on naan. It’s just so good!!
Mmmmm, naan.
Ahhhh, i was going to make home made naan on the weekend and then i realized i had no yeast and i was so sad i had to sub with rice instead – taste buds expecting naan are not happy with rice 😛
This looks perfect, can’t wait to make it – thanks for sharing Heather!!!
Best freaking naan ever. I’m obsessed!
Ooh, I’ve been wanting to make this. I can’t believe it doesn’t have any yeast!!
I’m with you, Heather. There is an abundance of such wonderful food out there on SO many blogs, I don’t know if I’ll be able to live long enough to try all the ones I want!
