Naan bread - ayurvedic flatbread
Naan bread - ingredients:
-
200 ml warm water
-
1 tsp dry yeast
-
1 tsp whole cane sugar
-
30 ml extra virgin olive oil
-
400 g light spelt flour or mixed with wholemeal spelt Alternatively: wheat flour

1 teaspoon Baking powder

Ghee for frying (optional)
Preparation:
-
Stir the dry yeast and whole cane sugar into the warm water. Then add flour, oil, baking powder and salt and knead into a dough using a food processor or by hand. The consistency of the dough should not be too wet or too dry; if not, add a little flour or water.
-
Form the dough into a ball and leave it to rise in a bowl in a warm place for 60 minutes. Then knead the dough again briefly and form six to eight balls. Form the balls into flatbreads with your hands.
-
Brush a hot pan with a little water so that the flatbreads don't stick and fry them until golden brown on each side. The flatbreads can also be fried in a little ghee.
Dosha tip: Ideal as a side dish for stews and soups. The two types of grain, wheat and spelt, are well suited for Pitta and Vata types.
