Homemade Whole Wheat Naan

laura

Ingredients
  

  • 1 .25 ounce package active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups very warm water
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2-3 cups whole wheat pastry flour + and additional cup or so for kneading
  • nonstick olive oil cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the water and yeast. Whisk in the maple syrup. Allow mixture to sit for 3-5 minutes. Then, whisk in the salt, and stir in just enough flour with a wooden spoon to form a dough that follows the spoon around the bowl. Sprinkle more flour, if needed onto the dough if needed to keep it from sticking while you knead it lightly in the bowl.
  • Cover and set aside for 1 hour.
  • Head a large skillet to medium heat. Spray with nonstick olive oil cooking spray. Generously cover a clean work surface with flour, then pull the dough off in golf-ball sized pieces. Roll each piece of dough in the flour, then use a rolling pin to roll it about 1/4" in thickness. Transfer to your hot skillet, cook until golden brown (about 60-90 seconds_, then flip with a pair of tongs and allow the other side of your naan to cook until golden brown (about 60 seconds more).
  • Pair with Cheeky Kitchen's Curried Chickpea Soup for the ultimate comfort meal!
  • Enjoy!
