Lime naan bread freshly served

Lime Naan

Naan bread exists in many forms, but the lime version is rare and special. This fusion version is a fresh, citrusy transformation of the classic naan dough, which provides a real refreshment, especially in the summer months. As the fresh scent of lime zest mingles with the baked aroma of hot naan, the kitchen fills with a unique, refreshing atmosphere. The balance of sour and sweet flavors makes every bite exciting. Tip: add the lime juice just before kneading so that it does not weaken the yeast's activity. The well-risen dough gives a light, bubbly texture. This naan is a great side dish to fish or chicken dishes, but it can also be served as an appetizer or snack with a little honey or spiced butter.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Zest and juice the lime. Set aside; this will provide the naan with a fresh, citrusy flavor.

    2

    In a large mixing bowl, sift the all-purpose flour, then add the yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix to combine.

    3

    Add the yogurt, olive oil, lukewarm water, lime zest, and lime juice. Mix until just combined, then knead into a smooth dough.

    4

    Knead for 10 minutes until the dough becomes elastic. Tip: The citrus might make the dough slightly wetter, so add a little extra flour if needed.

    5

    Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size. During this time, the citrus aroma will meld beautifully into the dough.

    6

    Divide the risen dough into 6 equal portions. Shape them into balls, then roll them out into oval shapes, about 0.5 cm thick.

    7

    Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Place a naan in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until brown spots appear.

    8

    Once cooked, brush with melted butter while still warm. Tip: For an extra burst of lime flavor, brush with a little lime juice along with the butter.

    9

    Repeat the cooking process with the remaining pieces. The lime flavor will caramelize slightly during cooking, making it even more intense.

    10

    Serve fresh – perfect as a unique side dish or a light summer snack.
