Garlic Naan Bread is loaded with fresh garlic and green onions. This is one of the tastiest slices of bread around, and you can make this homemade bread recipe in your own kitchen!
If there was ever a food enjoyed by people in every part of the world, it would have to be bread. Obviously, this includes naan bread! It is difficult to find a country that isn't known for some kind of baked dough, be it sweet or savory.
Flour, yeast, water, and salt are where some of the best meals start. The best part is, you don't need any fancy equipment when you make homemade bread.
If you like to use a bread machine, then keep at it. I find that they don't give you the same texture and crumb as naturally risen yeast will.
What I will say is, the most important step in the process is high heat, and the higher the better. Your standard oven will work for most bread, even this Garlic Naan Bread recipe, but you'll have to crank up the heat.
How to make garlic naan
You will want to bake this naan recipe at 550 degrees F., the highest temperature most ovens can reach. History tells us that traditionally, bread was baked in outside ovens.
Ovens like this are usually made of some kind of brick or clay. These days, people are trying to get that heat source back. To achieve this, you will need some good baking trays like the ones I use.
If you use a traditional pizza oven that can reach 800 degrees, you'll be able to get that awesome bubbly char on the crust. To finish the naan bread, glaze with some melted butter.
Which type of yeast should I use for my naan recipe?
When I bake bread, I always use Red Star Yeast mixture. It is reliable and won't let you down. Plus, I love how there are different kinds I can use depending on what I'm making.
I leave the dough to rise in the refrigerator overnight so the Regular Active yeast is perfect. This being said, if you want a loaf of garlic naan the same day, the Quick Rising yeast is what I suggest using.
They also have a Superior Platinum yeast which gives amazing results in regards to texture and crumb. For tons of baking recipes and tips on how to bake with yeast, check out the Red Star Yeast website!
