How to Make Sourdough Naan

  • Begin by mixing ½ cup of active sourdough starter or discard with warm water and yogurt. Add the olive oil and salt. Then add the flour and mix until a dough forms. Form into a mound, cover, and let it sit in a warm spot in your kitchen for 6 to 8 hours.
  • Once the dough has fermented, use floured hands to divide and shape it into 12 balls.
  • Bring a large flat skillet with olive oil to medium heat. Once the oil is hot, roll a dough ball out on a floured surface (¼-1/8 inch thick) and immediately place it into the skillet. Cook for 30-45 seconds or until golden spots form on the bottom and bubbles form on top. Flip and cook on the other side for the same amount of time.
  • Remove from the skillet and repeat this process (oiling the pan, rolling the naan, frying naan) until all of the dough is used. You will have 12 beautiful golden naan.
