Garlic Nan Bread

This is about as close as you are going to get to making garlic bread without a tandoori oven.

  • 225g strong bread flour.
  • 1 teaspoon dried yeast. 
  • 1 teaspoon sugar.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • 1 fluid ounce natural yoghurt or yoghurt based dip.
  • 4 fluid ounce warm water.
  • Oil for brushing. 
  • Melted butter with finely chopped garlic in, crushed sea salt any fresh herbs (put in what ever you fancy).


  1. Put the sugar, warm water and yoghurt in a bowl and mix until dissolved and leave your yeast to do it's thing.
  2. Put everything in the mixer with the dough hook and leave until like a dough, then leave to kneed for 5 minutes.
  3. Cover with cling film and a tea towel and leave somewhere warm (but not too warm) for an hour.
  4. The put back on the mixer and let it kneed again for about 1 minute.
  5. Roll out on to an oiled baking tray and brush on top with your garlic butter topping (or what ever you have chosen).
  6. Grill on both sides on a very high heat until just browning the edges.



LOVELY!!!
