Sourdough Whole Wheat Naan Bread Recipe!

Naan bread, but gut healthier with sourdough! I made my sourdough whole wheat naan bread with 75% wheat flour and it turned out so delicious! I was surprised that the wheat flour didn't compromise the taste of this, pleasantly surprised! My sourdough whole wheat naan bread is seasoned with Arabic Za'atar, but you can use anything you like on top such as garlic!

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup active sourdough starter
  • ¼ cup milk of choice
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour for 100% whole wheat, use ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Mix the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the cashew milk, sourdough starter, yogurt, and olive oil until smooth.
  • Add dry ingredients: Stir in the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and sea salt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Knead the dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. (Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes.)
  • Bulk fermentation: Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it ferment at room temperature for 6-8 hours (or overnight) until puffy and slightly doubled in size.
  • Divide & shape: Lightly deflate the dough and divide it into 10-12 equal portions.
  • Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into an oval or circle about ¼-inch thick.
  • Pan-fry the naan: Heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for 1-2 minutes on one side until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and slightly charred.
  • Optional: Brush with olive oil or melted butter and sprinkle with herbs, garlic, or sea salt for extra flavor.
