Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm milk
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or natural plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil plus 2 tbsp extra for cooking
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Garlic Butter Ingredients:
  • 3 tbsp butter melted
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp fresh cilantro or parsley chopped

Instructions

  • 1. Begin by combining water, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. Allow the mixture to sit for 5-10 minutes, until it starts bubbling on top.
  • 2. Next, add milk, yogurt, oil, minced garlic, flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Mix everything together using your hands, until a soft dough forms.
  • 3. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it with floured hands until it becomes smooth, typically taking 3 to 5 minutes.
  • 4. Lightly grease the same mixing bowl with a little oil to prepare for the naan.
  • 5. Place the dough back into the greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise at room temperature for approximately an hour, until it doubles in size.
  • 6. Once it has risen, divide the naan dough into 10 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
  • 7. Using a rolling pin, roll out each dough ball into a large oval shape, about 6 inches long and 1/8 inch thick.
  • 8. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  • 9. Place naan on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  • 10. Bake for 8-10 mins, until it starts to puff up and turn golden.
  • 11. Flip the bread and bake for another 8-10 mins on the other side.
  • 12. Once cooked, brush the naan with melted butter and garlic.
