Description

A flavorful and easy-to-make naan using sourdough starter discard, perfect for enhancing your meals while reducing food waste.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (215 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (5 grams) baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon (5 grams) salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon (2 grams) baking soda
  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) sourdough starter discard
  • 1/4 cup (68 grams) whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons (45 grams) water
  • 2 tablespoons (26 grams) olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)


Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl.
  2. Stir in the sourdough starter discard, Greek yogurt, water, and olive oil.
  3. When the mixture becomes too tough to stir, switch to using your hands.
  4. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until well combined, adjusting flour or water as needed.
  5. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each into a disc.
  6. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
  7. Heat a skillet or griddle over high heat.
  8. Roll each disc into a 1/4-inch thick round and cook in the hot skillet for 1-2 minutes per side until browned and puffed.
  9. Brush with melted butter and keep warm.

Notes

Allow the dough to rest longer for improved texture. You can also add herbs or spices to the dough for variations.
