Ingredients
Naan dough
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry or instant yeast
- 3/4 cup warm milk
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or plain natural yogurt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (plus 2 tablespoons for cooking)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (about 560 g), plus extra for dusting
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Garlic butter topping
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh cilantro or parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
Activate the yeast
In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes, until foamy and bubbly.
Make the dough
Add the warm milk, yogurt, vegetable oil, and minced garlic to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 3–5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Rise
Lightly oil a clean bowl, place the dough inside, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Shape and cook
Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into an oval or teardrop shape.
Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each naan until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the second side. Repeat with remaining dough.
Finish with garlic butter
Mix the melted butter, garlic, and herbs. Brush generously over the warm naan before serving.
Serve warm with curries, stews, grilled meats, or enjoy fresh from the pan.
