Toasted peanut naan bread served

Toasted Peanut Naan

Toasting the peanuts brings out their flavor and creates a special contrast with the soft dough of the naan thanks to its crispy texture. Peanut naan is a modern fusion dish that can be served as a dessert or a special breakfast. As the toasted peanuts crunch inside the fresh naan taken from the pan, the combination of sweet smell and buttery dough immediately creates a homely feeling. Tip: use slightly salted, skinless peanuts and don't over-toast them – a golden-brown color gives the best flavor. The toasted nuts will continue to brown inside the naan while baking. This naan is the perfect choice with a cup of tea, for breakfast, or as a welcome snack – you can even serve it with a little honey or a hint of cinnamon sugar.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Toast the peanuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool slightly, then roughly chop.

    2

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, sugar, and salt. This forms the dry base for the naan.

    3

    Add the yogurt, lukewarm water, and olive oil. Mix to combine, then knead until you have a smooth, elastic dough.

    4

    Knead for 10 minutes until the dough is homogeneous and elastic. Add a little flour if necessary, 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 doubled in size. This will give it a light, airy texture.

    6

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

    7

    Sprinkle one half of the rolled-out naan with a portion of the roasted peanuts, then fold the other half over. Gently press down and roll out slightly again.

    8

    Heat a skillet and cook the naans for 1-2 minutes per side, until brown spots appear and they puff up slightly.

    9

    Brush the hot naans with melted butter. This enhances the flavor and softness, and gives them a nice sheen.

    Serve warm, on its own or with a little honey or jam. It can even be enjoyed as a dessert.
