FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?

Yes, but you’ll need to add 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt per cup of flour.

What type of Greek yogurt works best?

Full-fat Greek yogurt works best for soft and fluffy naan, but low-fat versions also work.

Can I make this dough ahead of time?

Yes, store the dough in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before rolling and cooking.

Why is my naan dough sticky?

If the dough is too sticky, gradually add more flour until it reaches a workable consistency.

Can I cook naan in the oven?

Yes, bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Can I add toppings to the naan?

Absolutely! Try toppings like sesame seeds, fresh herbs, or cheese before cooking.

How do I make vegan naan?

Use a dairy-free yogurt alternative in place of Greek yogurt.

Can I use sour cream instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, but it may slightly alter the texture and taste.

What can I serve naan with?

Naan pairs well with curries, soups, dips, or even as a sandwich wrap.

Why isn’t my naan puffing up?
