2 Ingredient Dough Naan Bread — No Yeast! Recipe
Introduction
This 2 Ingredient Dough Naan Bread is a quick and easy way to enjoy fresh homemade naan without any yeast. Soft and tender, these flatbreads pair perfectly with curries, dips, or just a bit of butter.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups self-rising flour (use gluten-free, if needed)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (vegan Greek yogurt, non-fat, full-fat or reduced fat)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter of choice (optional, to brush naan breads)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and Greek yogurt. Mix well until combined, then use your hands to form a large ball of dough.
- Step 2: Lightly flour a wooden or kitchen surface. Sprinkle some extra flour on top of the dough ball, then transfer it to the floured surface. Flatten into a circular shape and divide into 8 even portions. Flatten each portion into a rectangular shape like classic naan bread.
- Step 3: Heat a non-stick saucepan over medium heat. When hot, place one flattened dough piece in the pan and cook for 3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Step 4: Once cooked, optionally brush the tops of each naan bread with melted butter for extra flavor.
Tips & Variations
- Use gluten-free self-rising flour if you need a gluten-free option.
- Add garlic powder or chopped fresh herbs to the dough for more flavor.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring the dough cooks through.
- Brush with garlic butter or sprinkle with sesame seeds before cooking for a tasty twist.
Storage
Store leftover naan in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze naan breads separated by parchment paper in a freezer bag for up to 1 month. Reheat by warming in a dry skillet over medium heat or in a toaster oven until soft and warm.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
You can use regular all-purpose flour, but you’ll need to add baking powder and salt to replicate self-rising flour. Use 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour plus 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Can I make this dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Bring it to room temperature before rolling and cooking for best results.

Description
This simple and quick 2 Ingredient Dough Naan Bread recipe uses no yeast, making it a perfect homemade naan for any meal. Made with just self-rising flour and Greek yogurt, these soft and fluffy naan breads cook quickly on the stovetop and can be optionally brushed with butter for extra flavor.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups self-rising flour (use gluten-free if needed)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (vegan Greek yogurt, non-fat, full-fat or reduced fat)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter of choice (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, salt (if using), and Greek yogurt. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and a dough ball forms. Use your hands to knead and shape the dough into a large ball.
- Divide and shape: Lightly flour a wooden or kitchen surface, and sprinkle some flour on top of the dough ball. Transfer the dough to the floured surface and flatten it into a circular shape. Cut the dough into 8 even portions. Flatten each portion into a rectangular shape resembling classic naan bread.
- Cook the naan: Heat a non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, place one flattened dough piece in the pan and cook for 3 minutes. Flip the naan and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until cooked through and slightly golden. Repeat the process for all naan pieces.
- Optional finishing touch: When all naan breads are cooked, lightly brush the tops with melted butter if desired, enhancing flavor and softness.
Notes
- Self-rising flour already contains baking powder and salt, so adjust salt quantity accordingly.
- If you need gluten-free naan, use a gluten-free self-rising flour blend.
- For a vegan version, use vegan Greek yogurt and a plant-based butter alternative for brushing.
- Ensure the pan is well-heated before cooking to achieve a nice texture and prevent sticking.
- Serve naan warm for best taste, alongside curries, soups, or as a wrap.
