These are fun, chunky little breads that break a little from the traditional style in a bid to cut down the fat – the yoghurt is fat-free and the coating is Flora Cuisine.
This recipe makes 16 breads.

Author: Emily Leary
Recipe type: Bread
Serves: 16
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp fat-free Greek yoghurt (the kind with no nasties added)
- 80ml warm water
- 175g self raising flour
- 80g plain flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tsp garlic granules
- 2-3tbsp of Flora Cuisine (it's a liquid fat with a yellow hue, specifically designed for cooking and baking - you could use olive oil or low fat margarine)
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a big bowl
- Add the yoghurt and warm water and knead until it forms a stiff dough
- Form into a ball, put back in the bowl, cover and leave somewhere dark and warm for an hour
- Heat the grill on maximum and put in a greaseproof baking tray
- Turn out onto a floured surfaced and using a sharp knife, cut into half, then half again, and again etc until you have 16 equal pieces
- Roll all the pieces into balls, flatten and shape into ovals
- Take the baking sheet out, place all the breads on and put it back under the grill for 4 minutes
- Remove the tray when the breads are just starting to form brown spots, turn them all over and put back under the grill
- Cook for another 2-4 minutes until brown spots appear
- Take the tray out and allow the breads to cool a little on the tray
- Meanwhile, melt the Flora Cuisine in a shallow dish
- Take each bread in turn, and either brush or dip both sides in the melted Cuisine until lightly covered, then transfer to a plate
Serve warm with a good curry, such as this paneer and vegetable curry.
Too many photographs, I normally print out recipes but it would take loads of paper to print this. With all due respect, people are interested in the recipes and not looking at loads of photos of yourself.
Hi Alison,
Thanks for your comment.
I’m in the process of converting all older recipes to recipe cards. I have now updated this one.
If you refresh this page and click the grey PRINT button just underneath the small naan image, you will be given a simplified version especially for printing with no side images etc.
Hope that helps!

You make it sound so simple. I’ve only ever made naan myself using a mix, but I might just have to try these :)
This is awesome :D yummy
greeks and yoghurt? no… choose turkish one …
I LOVE TO JOIN YOU
These sound epic! Am going to try them.
Excellent :)
Mmmm, are these one mouthful or two mouthful naans?
Hmm, two mouthfuls. Very nice too – try them!
GREAT recipe! I’d steer away from the light yogurt because that usually means they’re rammed full of sugar but they look so yummy!!
Ah good point, Rachael! I actually mean fat-free Greek yoghurt – the kind that’s been strained and has no added stuff. I’ll update the post.
