    Naan bread is a thin Indian bread that pairs well with hearty stews but is also fantastic with grilled foods. Here, we’re sharing a recipe for naan bread made with sourdough, sesame seeds, garlic butter, and parsley.

    You can freeze rolled-out pieces of dough and then take them out and thaw a few at a later time. Don't keep the dough in the freezer for more than 1 week; after that, the yeast loses its effectiveness.

    Here's how:

    • 1

      Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm liquid (water and milk).

    • 2

      Mix all the ingredients for 3 minutes on low speed, then 6 minutes on a higher speed.

    • 3

      Take the dough out and knead it into a round shape, then put it back in the bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let the dough rest for 60 minutes.

      Take the dough and divide it into 16 pieces, which you shape into round buns; place them on a floured baking sheet and cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let rise for 30 minutes.

    • 5

      Preheat the oven to 275 °C and place a clean baking sheet in the upper part of the oven.

    • 6

      Roll out the pieces of dough into oval shapes about 0.5 cm thick, brush the surface with water, and sprinkle with a few sesame seeds.

      Here, you can choose to freeze some of the rolled-out pieces of dough.

      Bake directly on the hot griddle for about 4 minutes; two at a time is just right.

      Remove the bread with a spatula.

      Brush the warm bread with garlic butter and sprinkle with a little chopped parsley.
