Remembering that you have everything you need for throwing together a quick naan bread and hummus can really make a difference in your Sunday. It doesn't take more than an hour including the kneading, blending and baking. This is the type of food that will make you lick your plate after finishing because it's just so goooood!
Ingredients for 4 pieces of naan bread:
- 250 grs of bread flour
- 200 mls of greek yoghurt
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of warm water
- 1 tablespoon of dry yeast
- two pinches of salt
- a pinch of sugar
- a pinch of ground cumin
- 1 can/bottle of chickpeas
- 100 grs of sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- lemon juice
- 1.5 tablespoons of greek yoghurt
- salt
- ground cumin
- 1 small clove of garlic
One very important ingredient of hummus is tahini, a paste made of sesame seeds. It's very easy to make at home. All you need to do is to throw the sesame seeds into a dry pan and keep stirring frequently so that it doesn't burn. When that's done, you just need to grind it and add the olive oil and the lemon juice so that it turns into a paste. You will have to blend the chickpeas as well in another bowl (add some of the brine too to make it creamier), and then you can combine the two. Add the lemon juice, the smashed garlic, the yoghurt (you can leave that out if you want) and the cumin. Give it a good stir and let it rest until you bake the bread.
Get your dough and knead it once more, then cut it into 4 equal pieces. Try to roll them out as much as you can with a rolling pin, or your hands, as you would do with pizza dough. It's the type of dough that can easily be shaped by hand, very easy to handle. Heat up a dry non-stick pan and place the first piece of dough into it, give each side a couple of minutes and then let the bread cool down. I usually serve the hummus with some yoghurt or sour cream, sprinkling some more ground cumin and Spanish smoked paprika on top.
