Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt (whole-milk preferred)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons butter or ghee (for brushing)
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: In a bowl, mix warm water with sugar and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, sift together flour and salt. Make a well in the center, add the yeast mixture and yogurt.
- Knead the dough: Mix until combined, then knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth.
- Let it rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for about an hour or until doubled in size.
- Shape the naan: Punch down risen dough and divide into equal portions. Roll each piece into an oval about half an inch thick.
- Cook the naan: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each naan until bubbles form (1-2 minutes per side). Brush with melted butter before serving.
