Equipment

  • Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 ¾ cup All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 ½ tsp Dry Yeast
  • ½ cup Warm Water
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Ghee (melted)

For the Silken Tofu

  • ½ cup Silken Tofu
  • ¼ cup Water
  • ¼ tsp Garam Masala
  • 1 tsp Lemon Juice

Instructions
 

  • Combine warm water, sugar, and dry yeast and let it activate for 10 minutes.
  • In the meantime, put all the ingredients for the silken tofu in the blender, and blend them together until smooth, yogurt-like consistency. If the mixture is too thick, add more water, and if it's not thick enough, add more tofu.
  • Sift the flour onto a flat surface and make a well in the middle.
  • Add the salt, oil, silken tofu, and the yeast mix into the well, and knead until smooth. It should take about 10 minutes or so.
  • Cover the dough with a cloth, put it in a warm place, and let it double in size for about one hour.
  • Flour your flat surface lightly, divide the dough into 6 pieces, then roll each piece.
  • Rub a cast iron skillet lightly with oil, and put it over high heat to let it heat.
  • Place dough onto the skillet. Once it bubbles and gets slightly charred, turn it over and repeat. It should take about 1 minute for one side to cook.
  • Brush your naan with melted ghee, and enjoy!
