Notice anything different about my blog today?  After almost 3 years of going under the blog address http://hezzi-dsbooksandcooks.blogspot.com I’ve switched over to my own .com!  Make sure you update my blog address in your reader as the new address is www.hezzi-dsbooksandcooks.com.  I’m super excited to share my new domain with you!  Speaking of new things, what until you see what I have for you this week for #SundaySupper.

For the past two years I’ve made a list of things I wanted to accomplish during the year.  Since I’m 32 this year my list consisted of 32 items, many of them cooking related.  So when I found out the theme for #SundaySupper this week was to tackle something new in the kitchen I really wanted to knock something off my list.

I decided on Naan because I’ve seen several delicious looking recipes recently plus I heard someone talking about Naan pizza and just knew I had to try it!  This is an easy bread to make because it only rises once and then is cooked in a skillet.  I wasn’t sure about the skillet method but it made the Naan golden brown and delicious.

It reminded me of flatbread and I think it would be great to use for a sandwich or wrap.  We really enjoyed it as a base for a pizza.  It was sturdy enough to hold them topping and was perfect for dinner.  I’m so glad I tried this recipe.  It’s much easier and faster to make then many other breads and it’s so versatile I know I’ll be making this recipe a lot in the future!

Naan (slightly adapted from So Tasty, So Yummy)
2 t. dry active yeast
1 t. sugar
1/2 c. warm water
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1/3 c. plain Greek yogurt
1 egg
2 3/4 c. flour
1 t. salt
1/2 t. black pepper

1.  In a large bowl combine the yeast, sugar, and water.  Stir to dissolve then let sit for 5 minutes.

2.  Stir in the oil, yogurt, and egg.  Mix well.

3.  Slowly mix in the flour, a half cup at a time, along with the salt and pepper.  Mix until the dough comes together and then remove from the bowl and knead for 5 minutes.

4.  Return the dough to the bowl and cover with a towel.  Allow the dough to rise for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

5.  After the dough has risen, flatten it out and cut it into 8 pieces.  Shape each piece into a ball.  Roll each ball into a 1/4 inch thick pancake shape that is 6 inches in diameter.

6.  Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray.  Heat over medium heat.  Place the dough in the skillet and cook until the under side is golden brown and bubbles begin forming.  Flip the dough and cook until the other side is golden brown as well.

7.  Repeat with remaining dough.

Naan Pizza  (a Hezzi-D original)
4 pieces Naan
1/2 c. marinara sauce
3/4 c. mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 c. pepperoni

1.  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

2.  Spread 2 tablespoons of sauce on each piece of Naan.  Top with 3 tablespoons of cheese and pepperoni.

3.  Place on a baking sheet.  Bake for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.  Serve hot.

These are the dishes that our contributors have been dying to declare victory over.

  1. Yay for .com, Heather! And thanks for making naan – its something that I loooooove to eat but am way too intimidated to make at home. Yours looks so gloriously golden from the pan frying. I can’t wait to try this and see how it stacks up to the restaurant versions.

  2. I buy na’an all the time. I mean, ALL the time. I really should make my own – thanks for the motivation. I had no idea yogurt was involved. Thanks so much for sharing this with us – pinning right now 🙂

  3. I’m so happy that you were able to knock something off of your kitchen bucket list! Making naan bread was one of my favorite parts of culinary school. We’d make the the dough in the bake shop and then use a pizza peel to put it in a big wood-burning oven. It was always difficult when it was my job to take the big pan of finished naan up to the restaurant at the school. Soooo tempting to just eat half of it instead 🙂

  4. Congratulations on your new domain name!!! That is very exciting – I have to change mine as well…

    I love that you made Nann – it is so delicious! Thank you for sharing! ~ Bea @ The Not So Cheesy Kitchen
