Homemade Buttery Sourdough Naan Recipe (video)

Sorry, I forgot to post this yesterday! I'm a little under the weather, so I spent most of yesterday in bed. We got some really great sourdough starter from a friend of ours, so we've been playing around with various sourdough bread recipes, including this one for naan! The final result is very much like the naan you can get at nice Indian restaurants, but you don't need to stick it to the inside of your oven. A cast iron skillet or even stainless steel skillet will work just fine for this, and between the butter and the naan releasing as it cooks, it shouldn't stick.

You could definitely use more interesting butter for this if you wanted. We used unsalted cultured butter, but you could use garlic butter or even something like the chive blossom butter we made a video about a while back. If you don't have sourdough starter, you can replace it with an equivalent amount (by weight) of equal parts flour and water plus two teaspoons of instant yeast or active dry yeast. So, to replace 215g of starter, you'd want to add about 55g of flour, 55g of water, and 2tsp of instant yeast.

This is a fairly new starter, just a couple years old, but it's some kind of wild yeast. It has a lovely winey or apple cider-ey aroma to it, and it is incredibly vigorous.

Here's a 12-hour time lapse right after feeding it.
