Steps to Make Roti Naan

  • Step 1: Prepare the Dough
    Combine MFM Peaches Self-Raising Flour, sugar and salt. Add yogurt and oil, then gradually mix in warm water until a soft dough forms.

  • Step 2: Knead Until Smooth
    Knead the dough for about 5–7 minutes until smooth, soft and easy to handle.

  • Step 3: Rest the Dough
    Cover the dough and let it rest for 20–30 minutes. This makes it easier to stretch and shape.

  • Step 4: Divide & Shape
    Divide the dough into six equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin oval or traditional teardrop shape.

  • Step 5: Cook Until Lightly Golden
    Place the naan onto a hot pan. Cook until bubbles form and golden-brown spots appear, then flip and finish cooking the other side.

  • Step 6: Brush & Serve
    Brush the warm naan with melted butter or ghee. Add chopped coriander or garlic if desired and serve immediately with your favourite curry.
