Ingredients Needed

• Flour: Use all-purpose flour.
• Granulated Sugar: Use regular white sugar.
• Egg: Use room temperature eggs
• Milk: You can use whole milk, almond milk, or a dairy-free alternative.
• Yogurt: Use plain vanilla yogurt,
• Olive Oil: Use Olive Oil or Avocado Oil.
• Yeast: Use active dry yeast or Instant yeast
• Butter: Use unsalted butter
• Garlic: For garlic naan bread, use extra garlic
• Parsley and Salt: For seasonings.

How To Make Blackstone Naan

Step One: Add the flour, kosher salt, granulated sugar, eggs, milk, yogurt, olive oil, and yeast in a large mixing bowl. If you use a handheld mixer, mix for about 2 minutes, slowly fold the warm water, and continue to mix until a dough ball forms.

Step Two: Spray a large bowl with cooking spray or brush with olive oil, and then place the dough bowl into the bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, or cover it with a kitchen towel. Place dough in a warm spot, and allow for the dough to double in size in about two hours.

Step Three: Divide the dough balls into 8 equal portions. Place the dough on a floured surface, using a rolling pin, to flatten the dough, and brush a little bit of olive oil on top. Place the shaped dough onto a plate, cover it with saran wrap or a kitchen towel, warm the plate, and allow the dough to rise for another 20 minutes.

Step Four: Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat, and add a little oil. Place the dough on the hot surface, then cook for 5 minutes or until golden brown, flip, and cook until golden brown.

Step Five: Serve with some garlic butter.

Blackstone Naan Recipe Tips

• Preheat the Griddle – Make sure your Blackstone griddle is preheated to medium-high heat before adding the dough. This ensures a nice, crispy exterior while keeping the inside soft.
• Don’t Overwork the Dough – When mixing and rolling out the dough, avoid overworking it. Gently mix and roll it to keep the naan soft and airy.
• Use Warm Water for Yeast Activation – Make sure your water is warm (around 110°F) to properly activate the yeast, but not too hot, or it could kill the yeast.
• Allow Enough Rising Time – Let the dough rise fully to ensure it becomes soft and fluffy. The second rise (after shaping the dough) is key for that light texture.
• Oil the Griddle – Lightly oil the griddle before cooking each naan. This helps the naan develop that beautiful golden-brown crust and prevents sticking.
• Keep Naan Warm – If you’re making multiple pieces, keep the cooked naan warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel until serving.
• Customize with Flavors – Add garlic, herbs, or cheese to the dough for extra flavor. You can also brush the cooked naan with melted butter or garlic butter for an added indulgence.

Storing

• Storing: Allow the naan to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you plan to keep it longer, refrigerate it to maintain its freshness for up to a week.
• Freezing: Wrap each naan in plastic wrap or foil and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months and thawed at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
• Reheating: Reheat naan on the Blackstone griddle for 1-2 minutes on each side to restore its crispy edges and soft interior. Alternatively, you can reheat it in the microwave for 20-30 seconds for a quick fix.

What To Serve With Blackstone Naan Recipe

Blackstone naan pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, making it a versatile addition to any meal. It’s perfect alongside flavorful curries, such as chicken tikka masala or lentil dahl, where it can soak up the rich, aromatic sauces. Grilled meats, like chicken or lamb kebabs, also complement naan, balancing the smoky flavors with its soft, pillowy texture.

For a lighter option, pair it with refreshing dips like hummus, tzatziki, or baba ganoush. Additionally, a side of fresh salad or cucumber raita can help cool down spicy dishes, while fragrant basmati rice offers a hearty, complementary side to complete the meal.

Blackstone Naan Recipe Faq’s

Can I use all-purpose flour instead of bread flour? Yes, you can use all-purpose flour for this recipe. Bread flour will yield a slightly chewier texture, but all-purpose flour works just fine for soft and fluffy naan.

How do I know when my naan is done cooking? Naan is ready when both sides are golden brown and you can gently press on the center without it feeling doughy. It should also puff up slightly while cooking.

Can I use a different type of yogurt? Yes, you can substitute plain Greek yogurt or non-dairy yogurt if you prefer. The yogurt helps keep the naan soft and moist, so choose one that you enjoy the flavor of.

Can I freeze leftover naan? Absolutely! Wrap each naan in plastic wrap or foil and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. You can freeze them for up to 3 months and reheat them on the griddle when ready to enjoy.

What should I do if my dough isn’t rising? Ensure your yeast is active by using warm (not hot) water to activate it. If the dough isn’t rising, check that the yeast is still fresh, and make sure the dough is in a warm place to rise.

Can I make this recipe without a Blackstone griddle? Yes! If you don’t have a Blackstone griddle, you can cook the naan in a regular cast-iron skillet or a non-stick frying pan. Just be sure to use medium-high heat for the best results.
