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
- Prepare the yeast mixture by combining warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Add yogurt and oil, then pour in the activated yeast mixture and combine until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about an hour until doubled in size.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into about eight equal portions. Roll each piece into an oval shape.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook each naan for 2-3 minutes on both sides until golden brown. Brush with melted butter mixed with minced garlic after cooking.
