Ingredients
- 4 tbsp fat-free Greek yogurt the kind with no nasties added
- 80 ml warm water
- 175 g self-raising white flour (self rising flour)
- 80 g plain white flour (all purpose flour)
- 1/4 tsp salt

- 2-3 tbsp of Flora Cuisine it's a liquid fat with a yellow hue, specifically designed for cooking and baking - you could use olive oil or low fat margarine
Instructions
Mix the dry ingredients together in a big bowl
Add the yoghurt and warm water and knead until it forms a stiff dough
Form into a ball, put back in the bowl, cover and leave somewhere dark and warm for an hour
Heat the grill on maximum and put in a greaseproof baking tray
Turn out onto a floured surfaced and using a sharp knife, cut into half, then half again, and again etc until you have 16 equal pieces
Roll all the pieces into balls, flatten and shape into ovals
Take the baking sheet out, place all the breads on and put it back under the grill for 4 minutes
Remove the tray when the breads are just starting to form brown spots, turn them all over and put back under the grill
Cook for another 2-4 minutes until brown spots appear
Take the tray out and allow the breads to cool a little on the tray
Meanwhile, melt the Flora Cuisine in a shallow dish
Take each bread in turn, and either brush or dip both sides in the melted Cuisine until lightly covered, then transfer to a plate

Too many photographs, I normally print out recipes but it would take loads of paper to print this. With all due respect, people are interested in the recipes and not looking at loads of photos of yourself.

Hi Alison,
Thanks for your comment.
I'm in the process of converting all older recipes to recipe cards. I have now updated this one.
If you refresh this page and click the grey PRINT button just underneath the small naan image, you will be given a simplified version especially for printing with no side images etc.
Hope that helps!
Emily

You make it sound so simple. I've only ever made naan myself using a mix, but I might just have to try these :)

GREAT recipe! I'd steer away from the light yogurt because that usually means they're rammed full of sugar but they look so yummy!!

Emily Leary says
Ah good point, Rachael! I actually mean fat-free Greek yoghurt - the kind that's been strained and has no added stuff. I'll update the post.
