Food Wishes your ingredients list on all recipies may be missing a heading. It looks to me like flour is listed as an ingredient for the garlic butter.
You need to make your own version of Dominos cheesy garlic bread. I made it my first time half a dozen years ago, first attempt was FANTASTIC, but I never wrote down how I did it and ever since all attempts failed. My first try my friends said it was like an orgasm in your mouth it was so smooth and tasty. But I've never been able to recreate since.
What? Really? I don't have a tandoor at home, so I have tried many many different recipes and techniques, and I must say authentic isn't how I would describe it. You need some form of radiation heat to get the signature taste, my top pick is a combination of a pre heated earthen pot and a pizza oven.
Thanks for this endorsement. I'm a little unsure when non Indian chefs put up Indian recipes... no hate to any non Indians sharing Indian recipes! I'm glad they are exploring but I often found that their end results were very different from what I am used to here in India
Chef John, I absolutely love your recipes and your videos. One request: please try to find alternatives to single-use plastics. Maybe cover the dough balls with a cloth instead. You have influence - please use it for environmental good, as well. Thanks! 🙏
@@jaibusby673 LMAO..So I read your comment right at the start of the video, and thought " Surely he can't be that bad, this Jai guy is exaggerating." Turns out he does exactly what you said,
I can't fkn deal with it. It's so disturbing. Probably something he does on purpose cause he's trying to do some rethoric thing but he's doing it all wrong..
Seriously the best naan ever...so soft, chewy, and easy to make. I used all purpose flour and when rolling out, used olive oil instead of flour and just stretched with my hands, no rolling pin. Thank you for this recipe, truly delicious.
One of my favorites, but I also really like You Suck at Cooking, My Gadget Kitchen - Chrystal, Serious Eats (Kenji Lopez Alt), Bruno Albouz, Guga Foods, Hiroyuki Terada, JunsKitchen. -All so different but great.
Here's a tip to make it taste more authentic! (Only works if you use a gas stove) So apply very little amount of water on the dough and stick it to the cast iron pan and when you think its nicely done brown and crisp just twist the whole pan while facing the naan on direct flam and adjust the height so it doesn't Fully burn but roast the naan and create some bubbles....it works like a charm and tastes alot better!!! :)
I have been watching Chef John’s videos for the last ten years. I have successfully tried many of the very easy to follow recipes. The best food show ever.
Chef John, I just got let go from the kitchen I work at because a new chef came in and changed the menu, and I was seen as too expensive and uncooperative with their new style of cooking. I’ve been a little bummed about it, but watching the pleasure and joy you put into your food makes me realize I just couldn’t work with this new chef, his sous, and his uninspired (though certainly trendy) way of cooking. Seeing you cook makes me excited to move on to another restaurant that will have the same passion for food that I do :)
Im happy you found your groove back. But word of advise.. Don't be uncooperative, it's a team work and a strict hierarchy. You can hate it dislike the food or people but never be on cooperative. If you want to have a bad name..shure. but if you would like opportunities and a good name and work your way up.. do the job well, follow orders. And if you disagree do that with your voice before or after work.. And bad menus I spire you to think of your own.right then down for when you have a restaurant to run. Just like musicians channel bad experience into song.. let bad cooking inspire you to create dishes. Wish you well hope you find a new job soon. In the mean time.. Make a naan bread and a hot curry for a pick me up.😁😊 Greetings from the Netherlands.
Hope you have found a team where you can learn and participate and have fun. Finding a great chef to work with isn't always easy but definitely worth hunting around for.
Ingredients for 6 Garlic Naan: 1/2 cup warm water 1 teaspoon sugar 1 package dry active yeast 1/4 cup plain yogurt about 2 cups bread flour, plus more as needed 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or 1/2 tsp fine salt) 1 tablespoon garlic butter - Cook in a very hot, dry cast iron skillet for 2 to 3 minutes per side For the Garlic Butter: 1/2 cup melted butter 4 cloves finely minced garlic
@LeaRaeEats I know. Why can't people just talk in a normal voice as if they were talking to you in the kitchen? for that reason I just turn on the captions, I know this guy is most likely a really nice guy but it drives me crazy as well
I made this, and it was ridiculously good. One hint for heating a cast iron skillet on a gas stove: Turn the pan over and let the flames heat the cooking surface directly till it's just hot as hades. I did this & it worked great.
Wow it's like a whole new batch of rookies just landed on this channel who couldn't accept or appreciate Chef John's sing-song narration, which by the way is what makes these videos extra special and fun to watch, and why I subscribed.
I love this guy! He is funny and his voice is weird at first but I can’t stop listening until I am laughing and loving it! Thank you. The naan looks mouth watering but your commentary was better.
I think there’s some hypnotic quality to the way he speaking because I never had to you refer to this video ever again I think I’ll know this recipe for the rest of my life
I've now watched three naan recipe videos in two days, and while I have yet to try making it, I will point out that others avoided the simple flip method because it didn't get them the results that you got with it. Perhaps their pans were not hot enough, but seeing that you've had success treating it like a pancake, that gives me hope. Other than the actual recipe, I'd like to say this has been one of your most entertaining videos I've seen.
I was the "Chef John of my garlic naan" last night. We had it with some cauliflower curry. I made the naan first, which turned out to be a mistake. It almost didn't last until the curry was done; it was too good! Will be making a larger batch this weekend. Thanks, Chef!
I can’t imagine not finishing one of your videos. The outro is divine! And you sir, are one of the greatest chefs I have seen in my life! Thank you for your craft!
This was alot easier than i thought it would be! Made it tonight with that cashew curry and it was one of the best meals i've ever made. Thanks Chef John!
Recently I have been making a lot of curries; and while my husband prefers his with rice I like to have mine with naan. It’s difficult to find whole grain naan so I decided to try making my own. Your recipe was a success and I’m very grateful. Thanks!
It has a chewy, crispy texture around the outside. I added flaky sea salt while its warm after brushing it with garlic butter which makes it so much better, thank you so much for this recipe!
For those who don't want to flatten the the top(which is traditionally achieved in a conventional tandoor), there is an alternative method to achieve. Try sprinkling some water at the bottom of the rolled dough before placing it on the skillet; this makes the bread stick to the pan which allows you to invert the skillet over the flame although, you do need a cast iron or stainless steel skillet to achieve this.
While all your recipes are amazing and I would love to try them all. What I really enjoy about your videos is listening to you. You always make me smile.
Thank you! We LOVED IT! I printed out the recipe, used my iPad to follow your steps, and it was delicious and super simple to make! Yours is the best naan recipe, and I’ll be making this from now on. I didn’t have plain yogurt, so I substituted sour cream and it was still AMAZING 😀 Thank you!
Awesome recipe! I like the idea of using a cast iron skillet--and I also liked your recommend to let it get hotter than you think it needs to be. I was really impressed by how it turned out: it looked just like how a naan should. Excellent work as always, chef!👍
O. M. G!!!!! All I can say is AMAZING!!!! Made this yesterday, and today it's still fantastic!! The only thing was, the recipe called for 1 packet of yeast... @ .25 ounce. The packet I was using, was 3/4 ounce, so I didn't use the whole envelope. Not a big deal. Chef John: I love your channel & all the great recipes!!! Keep 'em coming!!!
I made this using my standard bread dough and it turned out great. Also I preheated my skillet in the oven at 450° for 20 minutes (basically during the second proofing) and it caused the pan to evenly cook the dough
Nana nana naanana.....the best thing is when it works out perfectly for the first time.All the marks of an excellent teacher❤️thank you Dear Chef John.
@@jordanallen3078 It's a nickname I found funny. And as one should know in the www nicknames rarely describe the person behind it. In the end who cares?
I've been wanting to make homemade naan for the longest now. They are way too expensive at the grocery market. I can't wait to try out this recipe. Looks yummy yum :)
I subbed in thai basil for the cilantro and that was also good. So if you too are part of the "cilantro tastes like soap" crowd but want the look, don't be afraid to be the queen, of subbing in your greens.
I made this just a couple of weeks ago and I think it needed a little more salt. I also didn't care for his garlic butter, it was way too garlicky for me, so I made my own. After basically doubling the salt, it turned out better, at least for my taste. I also used this recipe for pizzas as this bread makes a great pizza crust as it's super moist & slightly chewy, which I really liked. A Muslim friend of mine also recommended adding a light layer of eggs to the finished product for an even better taste so I'll probably try that next time as he said to add it in between the layers. So my guess is, to add an egg layer and then fold it in two and roll it out thin before cooking it.
Thank you for this recipe. Now that there is NO bread in the stores, I prefer home made bread. But I love flat bread & Naan bread. What a great alternative!
There are many of you who knock the chef for his manner of speaking. You guys are so off the chart. He is charming, an excellent chef, and his inflection is part of his charm. Besides, if you ever watch his live streaming, which he has been doing lately quite frequently, you'll hear that when he is not giving out recipes but talk about other stuff, his speech is much different, and to be honest, much more boring-like. So, there it is. He is one of the best. Lay off him!!!!
I followed the recipe as explained by Chef John and the best naans ever was the result. This recipe is a winner. Thank you chef for your wonderful recipe. Stay blessed for sharing the knowledge with us:)
For the first time in my life, by following your recipe, I made bread. I adapted the recipe and added nigella seeds, it worked out very well. Thank you for the recipe Chef.
Indians do it..... basically these days we make pizza out of every thing. Bread, dosa, pancakes, naan, roti, pizza samosa (the filling is pizza-ish), biscuits, uttapam, khakhra, paratha. Even Indian McDonald's has a veg pizza puff in its menu.
You know what is super crazy? I have watched your videos every time I need recipe help over at least 2 years, and o haven't been subscribed until now. Big fail on my part. But you know what? I know without fail that following your videos will get me amazing results each time. Ignore the comments about how you talk because that voice has talked me through some food emergencies. Thanks Chef!
Bread bread is delicious. But I also enjoy bread, bread bread, and bread. Oh, and flat bread. And [specific country] bread, and [specific country] bread, and [yet another specific country] bread.
@@neharoxx1 I do say "chai tea" because I also say "European black/green/herbal/white tea", "Kenyan tea", and "Ceylon tea". So when I need an Indian style tea, I say "chai tea". I'm aware that some languages other than Hindi use "chai" like Russian. Still, chai is universally a term for Indian styled tea; I use it to spare the confusion of what exactly I want.
@@solomonpk Great. Now I am confused. How would you order Russian chai? If you'd use the correct name Chai Masala, you wouldn't have to give such a convoluted explanation why you order "tea tea" Indian style.
I am a former chef and when Im looking for a quick, informative and fun video on how to make something I almost always turn to here first. To all the noobs complaining about his voice...get over it. I love listening to him talk!
Me too. How could anyone complain about his voice? Listening to him explain how to do shit is one of things I like most about his vids. His vids have turned me from a KD and beans type of cook into a a damn decent cook :-)
Made this today. 2 things... 1. This is awesome!!! 2. You can get the pan too hot 🔥. First one instantly scorched badly. Made a quick recovery though. Put them on a crisping rack in the oven for a few minutes to get the texture a little crisper. Really wanted to sprinkle some grated parm
I made this Naan bread and it was fantastic. I prefer fresh bread over any store baked sponge. You are an excellent teacher. I absolutely love your videos.
