WHOLE WHEAT NAAN / NAAN

Naan is a very famous Indian bread served in almost all the Indian restaurants. It's made with maida (all-purpose flour) to give it good stretch and chewy texture.


But I generally avoid feeding my kids with all-purpose flour. Whether it's cakes, tarts, pancakes I try to make it with whole wheat flour.

As naan is made with only all-purpose flour, here I have used whole wheat flour Naan.

Do try it and you will realize it's much better than all-purpose flour. Just make sure about one thing that you don't use multi-grain atta(whole wheat flour) for this. I get two varieties of atta from the mill, Plain for baking and these kind of purposes and other multi-grain for daily chapati cooking.

Another important point is to make sure NOT to use non- stick tawa.

INGREDIENTS 
2 cups whole wheat flour

2 tsp powdered sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
