Instructions
Making naan dough in a stand mixer
Place all the wet and dry ingredients in the stand mixer bowl.
Knead for about 12 minutes using the dough hook at speed 2.
Make a dough ball with your hands and place it back into the bowl.
Cover it with a lid and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours.
Once the dough is done rising, punch it down and place it on a lightly floured surface
Making naan in the air fryer
Preheat the air fryer to 360°F.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts (about 75 grams each).
Make a smooth ball from a dough piece and dust it with flour.
Using a rolling pin roll into a naan about 3-4 mm thick.
Optionally spread some nigella seeds, garlic, and cilantro over the rolled naan.
Roll once again to ensure all the toppings get stuck in the rolled naan bread.
Carefully lift and place on parchment paper.
Lift the parchment paper carefully and place it in the air fryer.
Bake for 5 minutes at 360°F until it puffs and there are few golden brown spots.
After 4 minutes flip the naan and air fry for remaining 1 minute.
Remove the naan from the air fryer with the help of kitchen tongs.
Apply some butter with the help of a basting brush.
Notes
It is best to weigh the flour using a
food scale
for best and consistent results.
Dough can also be proved in the
instant pot
or oven for about 1 hour before shaping into rolls.

how to proof dough in the instant pot
