Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Combine warm water and yeast in a bowl; let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes).
- Whisk together flour and salt in a large bowl; make a well in the center.
- Add yeast mixture, yogurt, and minced garlic into the well. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm area until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Once risen, punch down the dough, divide into equal portions, and roll each piece into an oval about 1/4-inch thick.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; cook each naan for about 2 minutes per side until bubbles form on top, brushing with melted butter after flipping.
Notes
- Experiment with toppings like sesame seeds or spices such as cumin for added flavor.
- Store leftover naan in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days; reheat in a skillet.
