Fig naan bread served

Fig Naan

Figs have been considered one of the most valuable fruits since ancient times - their sweet taste and unique texture made them popular in many cultures. In this naan recipe, dried figs take their place in a modern, fusion environment, combining the tradition of oriental bread with the world of Mediterranean sweets. As the naan bakes in the pan, the fig pieces hidden inside gently caramelize, filling the kitchen with their aroma. Tip: soak the figs in advance to make them easier to work with and keep them juicy during baking. Brushing with butter not only adds shine, but also a soft, creamy flavor to the top of the naan. This naan is an ideal choice as a dessert, for afternoon tea, or even for festive breakfasts - special, but easy to prepare.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Finely chop the dried figs and soak them in lukewarm water for 10 minutes to soften. Then, drain them well.

    2

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, dry yeast, sugar, and salt. This will form the base of the dough.

    3

    Add the yogurt, lukewarm water, and olive oil, then mix to combine. Knead until you get a smooth, even dough.

    4

    Knead the dough for 10 minutes. If it's too sticky, sprinkle in a little flour, but be careful not to dry it out.

    5

    Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

    6

    Divide the risen dough into 6 equal portions. Shape them into balls, then roll them out into oval shapes.

    7

    Sprinkle the chopped, soaked figs onto one half of each rolled-out naan. Fold the other half over the figs and gently press down. Lightly roll it out again to flatten slightly.

    8

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the naans for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown spots appear and they puff up slightly.

    9

    Brush the freshly cooked naans with melted butter while they are still warm. This makes them even more delicious and fragrant.

    Serve warm – perfect for a sweet breakfast or a special dessert, either on its own or drizzled with honey.
