Soft naan made with whole wheat. Eat healthy and live healthy

Whole wheat naan recipe without using yeast. Being a Keralite, naan is not one of the common breads I make at home, but whenever I go to the restaurants I end up ordering naan even though I know it would probably be made using all purpose flour(Maida). At the restaurants it has always been a difficult choice between health issues of having all purpose flour and the crispy but soft taste of this wonderful bread, as always taste wins.

One of my latest mission has been to avoid all purpose flour from my ingredients list as much as possible and this recipe is the result of that. There are more gluten free whole wheat dishes that I will be publishing in the coming days.

Check out the step by step description of the recipe with images. Hope you all will like this healthy whole wheat naan recipe. Please try it out and don’t forget to post your comments and feedback.
