Make these Naan that are deliciously soft and slightly chewy made without yeast. Naan are flatbreads made with leavened dough and popular in India and some South Asian countries. My tried and tested recipe is for you if you find that using yeast is a daunting affair. So this Naan recipe fits in as it is incredibly easy to make. You can cook naan on a griddle (tawa) or a skillet on a stovetop. Alternatively grill them in a tandoor or oven. Here I show 2 ways of roasting them – on the stove-top with direct flame and on the skillet.
About Naan Recipe
Naan is a leavened flatbread made in some countries in Asia. These breads are baked in a tandoor (a cylindrical oven made of clay). It is also popular in India and is served in almost all the restaurants here.
Though naan is not made in Indian homes as a staple. It is roti or chapati (unleavened flatbread made from whole wheat flour) that is made on a regular basis.
For the leavening of naan dough, yeast is used or a mixture of curd+baking powder is used. This recipe includes baking powder and curd for the leavening.
Table of Contents
Naan is such a delish bread that it makes you forget about all-purpose flour. I do make whole wheat naan, but sometimes the family wants soft and chewy naan made with all-purpose flour, the way they are made in restaurants.
So I combine both whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour to make naan – like in this recipe of Garlic Naan.
Whenever we go to a restaurant then most of the time we end up ordering naan with a curry or lentil-based dish. Knowing very well that it will be probably made with all-purpose flour and not good for health.
But what to do! These flat breads tastes so well with curries that you end up loosening your guard about eating healthy food. Once in a while we all like to relax our guard and relish fried food or other supposed to be unhealthy food.
What is Naan Bread?
Both naan and naan bread are the same. In Asia, we call these delicious bread as naan and in the United States, these are called as naan bread.
Preferably naan bread should be eaten hot for best taste and texture. As once it cools down then it becomes dense, hard and loses its taste.
At least the restaurant ones become like that. Not this recipe. The naan bread remains soft and slightly chewy even when they become warm or cool.
Let me tell you a fact; that although Naan is popular all over the world, in India we do not make naan at home everyday. Meaning, it is not a home staple and made occasionally or enjoyed in the restaurants only.
The flat bread that is staple and made everyday in Indian kitchens is the humble Roti (Chapati) made from whole wheat flour.
How to make Naan Recipe
Make Naan Dough
1. In a mixing bowl take ¼ cup fresh curd or yogurt. For a vegan naan, use almond or cashew yogurt.
Ensure to use fresh curd and not overly sour or tangy curd (yogurt).
2. Add 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1 pinch baking soda. If you do not have baking soda, then skip it.
3. With a spoon mix all the ingredients very well till the sugar dissolves.
4. Now add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt or add as required in the bowl. You can also use a mix of whole wheat flour and all purpose flour.
5. Mix again with a spoon so that the salt is evenly distributed in the flour.
6. Make a well in the center and add 2 tablespoons oil. Note that you can even add butter instead of oil. Use any neutral-flavored oil.
7. Add ¼ to ⅓ cup water or add as required.
8. First mix and then begin to knead.
9. Knead to a smooth and soft dough. If the curd is thick, then you may need to add more water. In case the dough looks dry, then add some more water and knead.
If it becomes sticky, then sprinkle some flour and knead again. You should get a soft stretchy dough. You can even use a stand mixer to knead the dough.
10. Flatten the dough. You can even spread some oil all over the dough if you want. Place in the same bowl.
11. Place a moist kitchen towel or napkin completely covering on the dough. Cover the bowl with a lid and let the dough leaven for 2 hours.
12. In the below photo, the dough has leavened after two hours.
Assemble and Roll
13. Make medium-sized balls from the dough.
14. Flatten slightly and sprinkle some flour on the dough as well as on the rolling board.
15. Sprinkle some nigella seeds (kalonji) or sesame seeds (black or white) or melon seeds (magaz) on the rolled dough. I have added nigella seeds as they give a good flavor.
If you do not have these seeds, then simply skip them.
16. Roll to a 6 or 7 inches elongated circle.
17. Roll the top side to get a tapering edge. You can even gently pull the dough with your hands to get this pointed edge. The naan will have a tear-shaped form.
Roast Naan on Stove-top
18. Heat a heavy griddle or tawa or skillet and keep on medium-high to high heat. Place the naan bread ready on the hot tawa or skillet or griddle.
19. Keep the flame to medium-high or high and begin to cook the naan bread.
20. Let one side get partly cooked. You will see a few air pockets on the naan.
21. When you start seeing the air-pockets, then flip using tongs or spatula.
22. Now cook the second side on medium-high to high flame.
23. Again you will see air-pockets appearing on the second side. Flip when you see many air-pockets on the naan. (this photo is for reference only).
You will see that the second side has cooked more than the first side. The second side has to be cooked more than the first side.
24. You have to flip it using tongs and place it directly on the stovetop flame.
25. Grill the first side on the flame till you see some charred spots and blisters.
26. Roast the edges too.
27. Turn over and roast the second side too till you see some charred spots. Avoid fire roasting too much as then the naan becomes crispy.
28. Place it on a plate or tray. Spread or brush with some softened butter or melted butter. You can even use ghee (clarified butter).
For a vegan version use neutral flavored oil. You can even skip using butter or oil entirely.
Make Naan on a Tawa or Skillet
29. Heat a heavy griddle or skillet on a high flame. Place the naan on the hot tawa.
30. You will see some air pockets on the naan.
31. Flip the naan bread.
32. Cook the second side more than the first side. Please note that on a high flame it will get cooked faster.
33. Press the edges with a spatula so that they are also roasted and cooked properly.
34. Flip again.
35. You can flip again and press the edges for even cooking. Remove and spread some butter or oil. Serve them hot.
This way prepare naan in batches with either of these two methods. You can even stack cooked naans in a casserole box or roti basket and serve later.
36. Serve the naan bread hot or warm with your favorite curry dish like – malai kofta or palak paneer or matar paneer or lentils dishes like dal tadka or dal makhani or dal bukhara.
It also pairs nicely with curries like rajma masala, chana masala or paneer butter masala.
What to eat with Naan Bread?
In Indian cuisine, naan bread is often served with a curry or a dal (lentils). The curry can be of paneer (cottage cheese) or a mix of vegetables. The dal that pairs exceptionally well with naan is dal makhani. Apart from dal makhani, even dal fry or dal tadka can be served with it. I have mentioned some more Indian curries and lentils that can be served with it.
1. Curries – usually a creamy and smooth curries or spicy curries accompany naan bread very well. Some of the curries that come in this category are paneer butter masala, malai kofta, palak paneer, matar paneer, methi matar malai and kadai paneer.
2. Lentils – some gem of dal recipes make a nice match with naan like – dal makhani, dal tadka, chana masala, rajma recipe and chana dal. Dal makhani or dal bukhara with naan is a match made in heaven.
3. Vegetable gravies – both dry vegetables dishes, as well as curries, can be served with naan – bhindi masala gravy, veg kadai, veg Kolhapuri, veg handi, aloo gobi, dum aloo, baingan bharta and matar mushroom.
Can you freeze Naan?
This naan dough can be frozen for up to four to five weeks. Since curd is added in the dough, I recommend not freezing it for more than four to five weeks. Place the dough in an airtight box and keep in the freezer. Before making the naan, thaw the dough completely at room temperature. Then begin with rolling and roasting.
Variations
There are many ways a basic naan recipe can be modified to suit your tastes.
1. Whole wheat flour – in this recipe post, I have used all-purpose flour to make them. You can even use whole wheat flour or a combination of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour. Sometimes I make this naan bread with a 2:1 proportion of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour, but you can use 1:1 or even 3:1 of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour respectively.
If you are very conscious about eating whole wheat flour naan only, then you can check this Butter Naan recipe made with whole wheat flour.
2. Herbs and spices – to make the naan more flavorful, you can add one to two herbs or a mix of herbs in the dough. Herbs like mint, cilantro, parsley, basil etc add some color as well as flavor. Some spices or ground spice powders like red chili powder, black pepper powder or chaat masala powder will also make naan taste more better. E.g. Garlic flavored naan is also popular.
3. Cheese Naan – stuff some grated cheese in the rolled dough. Seal, roll and roast the naan. Addition of cheese makes them rich and filling. Sometimes the cheese naan is also flavored with garlic.
4. Butter Naan – add some butter in the dough instead of oil. After roasting the naan, brush with some softened or melted butter.
5. With Yeast – naan is also made with yeast and I also make these on occasions. To make these yeasted naan both instant yeast or dry active yeast work well. But not everyone is comfortable and successful working with yeast.

Notes
- Make sure to knead the dough very well. It should be soft, smooth and flexible. Add water as needed while kneading the dough.
- For the yogurt, use the one that is fresh and not very sour or tangy. You can also use 3 tablespoons greek yogurt in place of regular yogurt. With greek yogurt, you will need a bit more water if needed to make a soft and pliable dough.
- The number of pieces will vary depending on the size and thickness of the naan. Approximately 8 to 9 medium sized naan can be made.
- Alternatively, You can also cook the naan bread in a tandoor or bake them. Place the naan bread for baking on a greased hot tray or stone and bake in a preheated oven at your oven’s highest temperature.
- For a vegan naan, use plant based yogurt and a neutral oil for kneading dough as well as for roasting. For spreading on the naan bread, use vegan butter or a neutral oil.
- This basic recipe of a no yeast naan can be flavored and spiced with some herbs and ground spices of your choice. You can add these ground spices or herbs in the dough. Or choose to mix them with the oil and melted butter. Then spread this herbs and spices infused butter or oil on the cooked naan.
- The recipe can be doubled or tripled.
- The dough can be frozen. In the freezer the naan dough stays good for 4 to 5 weeks. In the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

Perfect, easy recipe.
This is my go to naan recipe, I’ve made it many times over the years and it is always fantastic.
I’m very comfortable with yeast (I bake yeasted and sourdough breads and pastries regularly), and I’d recommend this recipe for anyone wanting to make naan even if they’re comfortable with yeast. The texture and flavor are on point with no compromise.
Thank you and glad to read your positive feedback on the recipe. Thanks for the rating too.
Amazingly tasty mmmm so yummy!!

Hi ….
I tried your wheat naan with yeast recipe for tonights dinner ….turned out awesome ….the family loved it …just wanted to ask….is there any harm in using yeast ….if not then i can continue making whole wheat naans
thanks jyoti. there is no harm for the body in using yeast. fyi- people from the jain community do not have yeast as yeast is a microorganism.
Dassana you rescued my lunch plans today with this recipe.
After the yeast I had on hand refused to activate, I did a quick search for a no yeast recipe. The naans turned out soft and delicious! Love that Maida could be replaced with healthier Aata. Tried with 1:1 ratio this time, plan to go full Aata next time!
Such an easy recipe to follow- your step by step photos are a big help! I don’t know how you do it! Thanks for your efforts!
thanks amrita. even the atta naans are soft and taste good. do try with full atta next time. with yeast the atta naans are more softer. by now i have got used to taking step by step pics easily and effortlessly. thanks again.
awesmee!!!!!!!!!!! i often love cooking..thank u and tis page was more useful
welcome vidhya. good to know this.
Looks delicious, I will make it tomorrow to go with leftover dal which is currently simmering away for dinner . I just have a few questions :
1. What flame for the pan – low, medium or high ?
2. You say to partly cook the naan – roughly how long does this take for each side ? I want to be careful to do it right
3. When it comes to putting it on the flame, what size flame- low, medium or high ? And roughly how many seconds each side?
Thanks, I’ve printed off loads of your recipes and done many of them…they are always super tasty !
thanks a lot victoria. the following answers to your query. hope they help.
1. keep flame medium-high to high for the pan.
2. it takes about approx one minute for one side. given a rough time as time will vary with the thickness of pan and the intensity, pressure on flame. you just need to cook till you see a few small spots puffing up in the naan. the naan should turn opaque and not get browned.
3. high flame and roughly time taken is till the naans puff up and you see some black blisters on them. cannot give the exact time in seconds as it will depend on the intensity of flame.
Thank you so very much, we just had this with tikka masala, and it was delicious!
thanks libby for sharing the feedback on naan recipe.

not necessary. you can cover with a lid also. thanks for the positive review.
Looking forward to trying this recipe
Helo Dassana Amit
I have made naan wtht yeast wth 2:1 atta n maida,n followed instructions exctly like u.
They realy turnedout well.
Which one r gud 4 health naan wth yeast or soda?
Best wishes
thanks sam. good to know this. naan with yeast is good for health than the one made with soda. for more healthy naan, only make with atta or increase its quantity.
Hi Dassana,
I have tried so many of your recipes and they have all come out great. Don’t know what I’d do without you. I want to make these Naan in my oven. Could you please tell me the oven settings for it?
thanks tanvi. you can bake at the highest temperature in your oven. also if you have a baking stone its good. but if not, then just place the naans on the baking tray and bake them.
I just tried making this for the first time, I’m curious, is the dough supposed to be stiff and difficult to knead? I’ve never made naan before so I have nothing to compare to, it just seemed odd. I don’t know what I did wrong.
naan dough is soft and very smooth to knead. its not stiff. add more water and knead again to smooth and soft dough.
Looks great! Could I make the dough the day before, keep it in the refrigerator over night, and then cook it the next day? Thanks!
welcome brooke. yes you can make the dough over night and keep in the refrigerator.
Hi was wondering how much salt exactly? Not sure what to put
dupree, you can put 1 to 1.5 tsp of salt.
I love it! I had volunteered to make naan for a (small) church meal, before realizing I didn’t have the appropriate yeast. I was so happy to come across this recipe! I mixed in fresh garlic when I kneaded with the oil, & sesame seeds when rolling out. I did multiply the recipe based off the 3-4 people, and have discovered that I am making (as I am in mid progress) near enough to feed a small army (no complaints here!). I did need to add quite a lot more liquid, but no problems with the final result! Thank you thank you thank you!!
welcome louisa. i hope everyone enjoy the naans.
Happy dance””happy dance”””” yr recipe is awesome…. my daughter loved it..I love the way u explain and pic. R very good..keep do good recipes of us..
thanks pankti
Made this recipe twice and both times it was a super hit. I even had relatives asking for the recipe 🙂 Thank you for such amazing recipes.
welcome nikki. glad to know this.
I love your recipe, and my grandkids love it also, and I’m going to make it again. I have a question, though. Sometimes I’m forgetful and rather ignorant at the grocery store even when taking a list with me, and have to rely on others for my trips to the store due to a disability. If I should forget to buy the yogurt (as I have done a few times already), is there a substitute I could use?
thanks dona. it happens with all of us some times. instead of yogurt you can add 1 tbsp of lemon juice or 1 tbsp white vinegar.
you can also refer this post on how to make yogurt at home:

Awesome recipe can’t wait to try thanks for sharing your whole wheat Naan can give a healthy diet for my daughter who is crazy after naan
welcome meenakshi. yes, its better to have healthy food.
Awsumm
loved paneer makhanwala recipe, have been trying earlier for the perfect restaurant style your recipe completed my search thanks!
welcome shilpa. glad to know that your search was fulfilled.
Thank you for the amazing naan recipe.
I tried it today and became successful.But I used a slightly modified method. I made the dough slightly soft and flattened the balls by palm instead of rolling stick and put a lid over the naan while cooking.
Nice outcome and nice taste.
thanks archana for your feedback as well as sharing your suggestions.
Hi,
Can I double or triple this recipe..
vibha, yes you can
I’m going to try this recipe, but I wondered if there is a way or if you have a recipe to create naan breads that have no yeast & are wheat free too?
i have been making naan both with yeast as well as without yeast. i do not have any wheat free version as we always make naan with wheat flour.
Hi Dassana, my naans puffed up like phulkas…. i wanted to have the texture as your pictures 🙁
whr did i go wrong?
sometimes they do puff like phulkas. i have one recipe of naan posted on the blog, where most of the naans puffed like phulka. if you add garlic or sesame seeds or onion seeds on top, then they won’t puff like phulka. there is nothing to worry about. if the dough leavens well, most probably, the naans will puff up.
Can I use ENO as replacement of baking soda
rakhi, i don’t know how it will leaven with ENO.
I am a big fan of your all recipes thanks for sharing
welcome rakhi
I used whole wheat sharbati atta and result was amazing. My family loved it.

thanks aruna
Looks super amazing! Can’t wait to try :))) I’ll get back to you. 🙂
what is the difference between baking powder and baking soda …. as you have used both in the ingredients
baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate – when moistened releases carbon dioxide which helps in rising of baked stuff.
baking powder contains sodium bicarbonate, an acidifying agent (cream of tartar), and also a drying agent (usually starch). same function as baking soda. however baking soda is more strong.
Hi Dassana,
I tried your recipe naan and chole recipe. Brilliant outcome!
I tried the tava method and in the toaster too. The toaster one turned out super crispy and yummmm……
Thanks for the awesome recipes 🙂
thanks nuti for giving your feedback. glad to know that both recipes came out well.
Dear mam,
In this recipe, you have taken 3 cups of flour. Please let me know the cup size.
Thanks, sudeshna
hi sudeshna. the cups used here are the US measuring cups. these are standard measuring cups, that is easily available in most stores. in grams it would be 240 grams of whole wheat flour and 125 grams of all purpose flour. hope this helps.
Perfectly made naan…looks so soft and fluffy too!
Beautiful. Will be keeping this recipe close by, have been wanting to try making naan bread!
