Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 package (0.25 oz) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water (110°F)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons oil or ghee
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by combining warm water and sugar in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
- In another bowl, mix flour and salt. Add yogurt and oil before pouring in the activated yeast mixture. Combine to form a dough and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- After rising, punch down the dough and divide it into eight pieces. Roll each piece into an oval shape.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, cooking each naan for about 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Brush with melted butter mixed with minced garlic before serving warm.
