Ashley’s 5-MINUTE NAAN


What you’ll need . . .

• 1 cup bread flour 
• 1/2 cup rye (or whole wheat) flour 
• Pinch of salt 
• 1 teaspoon — heaping — baking powder 
• 1/2 cup plain lowfat yogurt 
• 1/2 cup water



Method . . .

1. Whisk together the dry ingredients. Then add in the water/yogurt. Stir until combined. 
2. Then place atop a generously floured work surface and knead. 
3. Refrigerate overnight (at least — 2 days is better). 
4. Divide into balls (I made 6) and — again — generously flour a work surface. 
5. You’ll want to flatten each of the balls until it’s as thin as you can get it without holes. 
6. Heat a fry pan over high heat and spritz a bit of olive oil in there. Then toss one dough disk on the hot pan and let cook for 30 seconds or so. 
7. Flip over and then press down with a tea towel (photo above) to get all the nooks and crannies. Flip over again and then again. Until browned. 
8. Repeat. 
9. Slice and enjoy.
