How to Make Banana Naan Bread

Here’s a simple recipe to get you started:

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 banana mashed
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water 100-110°F
  • 1 to 1-1/2 cups unbleached bread flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • Dash of nigella seeds optional

Instructions
 

  • In a small cup, combine the mashed banana, yeast, and warm water. Let it rest for 5 minutes until frothy.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the wet mixture and combine until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-6 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  • Divide the dough into four balls, flatten each one, and stretch to 5-6 inches in diameter. Press nigella seeds into the dough if desired.
  • Heat a non-stick frypan with minimal oil over medium heat. Cook the naans one at a time, flipping until golden and cooked through.
