Yeast Naan Recipe | Whole Wheat Naan With Yeast | How To Make Whole Wheat naan at home

Yeast naan is an unleavened Indian flatbread which is very popular in restaurants. Naan’s can be made with yeast or without yeast. In this recipe, I used yeast and prepared this whole wheat yeast naan which was served with mutton and shahi kofta curry. 

Due to digestive problems, I get after consuming refined flour I am bound to use whole wheat flour most of the time. For Y I wanted to make Yogurt paratha, but on weekend we had to go to a friend’s place for the potluck. And then yeast naan came in my mind. Though I was hesitant to serve in 10 person’s gathering, my husband gave a green signal. This is the same way I prepared Xmas Paratha.

To make this yeast naan, whole wheat flour was kneaded with yeast, curd, salt, and sugar. Rested for an hour to let the yeast work on. After an hour punch the dough to release the air bubbles and knead just for one minute. Divide into equal portions and cook like normal paratha. Must say whole wheat naan has come out so soft and fluffy, definitely, it is not as stretchy as refined flour naan. So let see how to make whole wheat yeast naan.
