Naan on the Big Green Egg

You don’t have to pinch yourself—we’re not having a collective regional hallucination. THE SAINTS REALLY WON THE SUPERBOWL LAST NIGHT!!!! While the boys in Black and Gold schooled the Colts, I stuck to my football-season ritual of non-traditional football foods and cooked up a mess of tandoori chicken wings on my Big Green Egg, accompanied by a pile of naan.

Buttery, flaky naan (plain or filled) is the highlight of an Indian meal. The Cajun in me delights at any form of bread designed to soak up liquid. But then I got a Big Green Egg, which is just a cousin of the tandoor oven (or tanur, or tonir, or tone, depending on the country). After checking out various naan recipes, I (mostly) followed Neelam Batra’s formula from 1,000 Indian Recipes (p 594), allowed the dough to rise for 1 hour at room temp, stretched & folded it a few times, then refrigerated for more than 4 hours.

Lately I have been making a ton of dessert recipes and, though everybody loves desserts, I have really wanted to get back to making more dinner recipes. My favorite type of food is definitely Indian, so we decided on making a full Indian dinner with a Tandoori Spiced Sweet Potato & Lentil Curry served with homemade Naan Bread and Cucumber & Mint Raita, as seen in the picture below. The curry and dip recipe will up some time during the following days. The recipe in this post is for the perfect doughy gluten-free and vegan naan bread. This was by no means as difficult to make as I initially thought it would be and I am so happy I decided to try this out.

Homemade Naan (with step-by-step photos)

Well, actually my mom really loves homemade bread and I love to making her happy! I think I will always love making my mom happy, whether I am nineteen or fifty (oh my gosh, I cannot even imagine). It’s just something that makes me happy, so I guess it’s a win win! Plus, I mean homemade Naan? Yeah, there is not much better.

It’s so easy that I thought you guys would like seeing the process a little bit. Start by activating the yeast. Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda to a large bowl. Cover the dough with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place for one hour. After one hour punch the dough down and divide into eight equal balls. Warm a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat (you want a hot pan). Place the Naan on the hot skillet, cover and bake for 1 minute, until you see bubbles starting to form. Done! Pretty easy, right? And so good! It is actually very similar to this pita bread, but maybe even better.

Seriously, Ingredients.
