how to make the dough
    how to make the dough
  1. In a deep bowl, add ¾ cup bajra (black millet) flour. Bajra flour, also known as pearl millet flour, is naturally gluten-free. Bajra flour has a unique nutty flavor that adds a distinct taste profile to the naan compared to regular wheat flour naan. 
  2. Add ¾ cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta). Wheat flour contains gluten, which helps develop elasticity in the dough.  This can be beneficial when working with bajra flour, which is naturally gluten-free.  A small amount of wheat flour can make the dough easier to knead and roll out without becoming crumbly or tearing.
  3. Add the yeast-sugar mixture.
  4. Add ¼ cup finely chopped fenugreek leaves (methi). Fenugreek leaves are a good source of vitamins and minerals like iron, potassium, and magnesium. Fenugreek leaves have a slightly bitter and nutty taste that complements the earthy flavor of bajra flour.
  5. Add salt to taste.
  6. Add ½ tsp oil.
