Homemade Buttery Garlic Naan Bread
This Naan Bread Recipe is a traditional flatbread that comes all the way from India. Now, I'm not an Indian Cuisine expert, but all I can tell you is that after making this naan bread recipe, you better get ready for your whole house to smell aMAZEing!
Ways To Serve Naan Bread
Naan bread is delicious on it's own, or you can substitute your traditional pizza dough for naan bread dough instead. Or, use it to make a sandwich wrap. Naan Bread is also wonderful when you pair it with a bowl of soup or stew, such as Chicken Soup, or Beef Stew. Say hello to another cozy, family favorite Fall Meal.
If you're a salad-kinda-gal, this bread recipe, pairs amazingly with Caesar Salad for that perfect, light afternoon meal.
But if you're planning to go traditional, then perhaps, serving this with a bowl of hot curry or stew will give you that nice spicy and homey feel as you curl up in a blanket as the temperature continues to drop outside.
How to Make Garlic Butter
My personal favorite, when it comes to Naan Bread, is dipping it into garlic butter. Here's how to make the most delicious garlic butter for your naan bread.
- 2-3 garlic cloves peeled, chopped
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/8 tsp Salt
- Chopped chives, parsley, or scallions for garnish, if desired
Add all of these ingredients into a small bowl, sprinkle additional salt and garnish if desired, and now you have the perfect dipping sauce that can be used for literally anything, like bread, pizza, or savory pastries, just to name a few.
