Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 package (0.25 oz) active dry yeast or instant 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
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro or parsley
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let it sit for 10 minutes, until frothy.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, yogurt, and oil.
Add the activated yeast mixture and knead for 10 minutes until the dough is smooth.
Cover the dough and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Divide the dough into 8 equal balls.
Roll each ball into an oval shape, about 8 inches long.
Heat a greased skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook each naan until bubbly and golden brown, about 1 minute per side.
Mix the minced garlic with the melted butter.
Brush the garlic butter mixture over the warm naans.
Sprinkle with a little salt and garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley before serving.
Notes
You can use either active dry yeast or instant yeast for this recipe.
Make sure the water is warm, not hot, to help the yeast activate properly.
For extra flavor, use ghee instead of oil in the dough.
Best served warm right after cooking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a skillet for best texture.
