My Naan Bread Quest Is Over
« on: December 03, 2012, 08:13 PM »
Finally after many years of attempts/recipes/failed eureka moments and 2 home build tandoori ovens later i now feel i can truly replicate restaurant style naan breads at home, i feel Ive got it nailed down, no longer need to tweak my recipe and ultimately the method and this is without a tandoori oven.

I can make the naans pictured every time no more floppy, stodgy, [sometimes biscuit like!] sour, funny cant put my name on it after taste. Real Deal Naan bread.

I really didn't think it would of been so hard! but the variations are vast!! from yeast to no yeast, self raising, plain flours, a mix of both, yogurt or not, with little or a lot of baking soda not mention pizza stones, granite plates and blow torches all of which have there merits! if could install a gas fired tandoori oven in my kitchen i would of done years ago but it not going to happen no matter how much i beg the misses!!

This is done with CBM's method of Tava and a 9kw gas ring, inverting the bread into the flames,
I do have to Thank CBM for his method here as it was a big upward step for me.

I'm sure this can be done a gas hob with wok ring or perhaps the large ring not sure as i have electric hob[bad idea but its easy to clean :'(]

I will post the recipe but i really want to weigh and measure the amounts again.

Congrats on your success UB!

UB we have all chatted about naan recipes and different ways of cooking them but it would be great if you posted your recipe as I would like to try and perfect this. My naans are good BUT can I take them further and be as delighted as you clearer are with your lovely looking naans. You recipe might lead me that way!!!!
