Description

A delicious garlic naan that is fluffy and flavorful, perfect for accompanying your favorite dishes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup Warm water
  • 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 cup Plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro or parsley

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, salt, and yogurt. Slowly add warm water until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  3. Once risen, punch down the dough gently and divide it into equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball and let them rest for another 15 minutes.
  4. On a floured surface, take a ball of dough and roll it out into a teardrop or oval shape, about ¼ inch thick.
  5. Preheat a cast iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until it’s hot but not smoking.
  6. Place one rolled-out naan in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on top. Flip and cook for an additional minute until golden brown.
  7. In a small bowl, melt butter and mix in minced garlic. After cooking each naan, brush it generously with this mixture while it’s still warm.

Notes

  • Ensure the yeast is fresh for best results.
  • The resting time is crucial for achieving the perfect texture.
  • Feel free to add more herbs to enhance flavor.
