Have you ever tried Naan bread? It has become one of our favorites around here! It is light and pairs well with so many different things.
If you are making some Indian cuisine, serve this bread right along side like you would get at an Indian restaurant. But we have been serving it with salads, soup, you name it! It is so versatile. Expose your family to the different kinds of bread from around the world. You will not be disappointed!
You can make this bread on a pancake griddle like the recipe says, or on the grill. We love doing it this way in the summer! If weather doesn’t allow you to use the outside grill, try the tabletop grill.
If you decide to go the grill route, turn your grill to medium heat. Roll out the dough about a foot long into a rectangular shape. Add the minced garlic or chopped herbs of choice. Then use a paper towel dipped in olive oil to quickly rub over the hot grates. Place the dough directly on the grill and see how nicely it cooks!
It only takes about two minutes per side, so it cooks quickly! Serve hot right off the grill with some butter on top.
If you are not a fan of garlic, just skip that! Sometimes we just don’t feel like the strong flavor and just leave it out. Either way, you are getting a light and delicious bread.
Are you wanting to make Roti Indian bread instead? For this, you will need 3 cups of whole wheat flour (Indian Brand), 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, 3/4 cup warm water. Makes a firm dough, then shape into 8 balls. Roll out in a circle. Bake on a grill, turning over once it bubbles. Serve warm with butter!
And finally for a delicious variation on the Naan bread, turn it into a wrap! Add some grilled chicken, garlic salt, shredded cheese, chick peas, beans of choosing, and fresh spinach. Or get creative and add your own toppings of choice. And then fold the nann bread up, like a taco or pita.
So what are you waiting for? Give this bread a try on your next grill night! We love it paired with some delicious grilled meat. Enjoy!
