Naan Flat Bread

I love making fresh naan flat bread when we have gyros at home. It makes such a big difference in the whole gyro experience vs using pita bread or even store-bought flat bread.

Here’s my go-to recipe for flat bread from scratch. And, yes, it is easy. It’s even easier if you have a bread machine (or your parents have one or you find one at a thrift store).  If you’re tight on time naan from the store will work just fine.
 
Easy Naan Flat Bread for Gyros Recipe
Makes 6 flat breads. Perfect for gyros fresh from your kitchen. I love using our own Cylon Rolling Acresgoat gyro meat, which you can also use by ordering it here.  
 
Ingredients 
1 tbs olive oil
½ c Greek yogurt
½ c milk
2 c flour
½ tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp baking soda
1 tsp SAF yeast
 
2 TBS butter melted for brushing on top
Pink Himalayan Salt or Sea Salt 
 
Bread Machine Instructions– SO EASY!! 

1. Put ingredients in bread machine pan in the following order: olive oil, yogurt, milk, flour, salt, baking soda and yeast. Run on DOUGH setting. 
2. Prep two large baking sheets with parchment paper. 
3. Preheat oven to 450 F degrees. When dough is ready, take out of pan and split into six balls. 
4. Roll out balls to flat circles, about ½ inch thick or thinner if desired. I like to use a small sheet of parchment paper on top of the dough to flatten by hand. 
5. Brush butter on top of each circle and sprinkle with salt, if desired. 
6. Bake one sheet at a time. About 8-10 minutes until the bread is just starting to brown. For a more flexible flat bread, cook at the shorter time range, taking the bread out just before it starts to brown
7. Eat! Best served immediately. Keeps for 2-3 days. Refrigerate for freshness. 

 
Make your gyros! Fill with Cylon Rolling Acres sliced gyroand top with lettuce, thinly sliced onion, tomato and tzatziki sauce. 
 
In the future I will be converting this to a by hand or mixer version.
