Description

This easy sourdough naan recipe features blistered rounds brushed with a vibrant turmeric garlic mixture, making it a delicious and hearty side dish for weeknight dinners. It transforms simple meals with its warm, fluffy texture and aromatic flavor, perfect for home cooks seeking a homemade touch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240g) active sourdough starter, fed and bubbly
  • 2.5 cups (300g) all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 0.5 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt, full-fat
  • 1 teaspoon (6g) fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon (2g) ground turmeric
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons (42g) ghee or butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Mix the Dough: Combine active sourdough starter, all-purpose flour, Greek yogurt, and salt in a large bowl. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5-7 minutes until the dough feels smooth and elastic and is no longer sticky.
  2. First Rise (Bulk Fermentation): Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning once to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Let it rise at room temperature (70-75°F or 21-24°C) for 2-4 hours, until visibly puffy and slightly increased in volume. (Alternatively, refrigerate overnight (8-12 hours) for a deeper, tangier flavor, perfect for meal prep.)
  3. Divide and Shape Dough: Gently turn the risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide it into 6-8 equal balls (about 90-110g each). Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into an oval or round shape, about 0.25 inch (0.6 cm) thick.
  4. Prepare Turmeric Garlic Brush: In a small bowl, melt 3 tablespoons of ghee or butter. Stir in the finely minced garlic, turmeric powder, and a tiny pinch of salt. Set aside; the mixture will be vibrant and fragrant.
  5. Cook the Naan: Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until it is smoking slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Place one shaped naan in the hot pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until large bubbles appear on the surface and the underside shows golden brown spots. Flip the naan and cook for another 1-2 minutes until deeply golden and beautifully blistered. (If your naan is not blistering, increase the pan’s heat slightly for the next round.)
  6. Brush and Serve Naan: Immediately transfer the hot sourdough naan to a plate. Generously brush the top with the prepared turmeric garlic mixture. Serve warm and enjoy your homemade sourdough naan.

Notes

To achieve signature blisters and avoid dry, tough bread, use an active, bubbly sourdough starter and a screaming hot pan. Naan cooks quickly, so avoid overcooking.
