Instructions
- For Naan Bread:
- Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly.
- Add milk, yogurt, oil, minced garlic, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until the dough forms.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until smooth (3-5 minutes).
- Lightly grease the mixing bowl, return dough, and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature for about 1 hour, until doubled.
- Divide dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll each into a ball, then roll each ball into a 6-inch oval, about ⅛-inch thick.
- Cooking the Naan:
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and grease with ½ tsp oil.
- Place one naan on the skillet and cook until bubbles form (1-2 minutes). Brush the top with a little oil while cooking.
- Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden spots appear.
- Remove from skillet and wrap in a clean towel. Repeat with remaining dough, keeping naan wrapped in the towel.
- For Garlic Butter Topping:
- Mix melted butter and minced garlic. Brush each naan with garlic butter and sprinkle with fresh herbs.
- Enjoy warm!
Notes
- For extra flavor, add herbs like oregano or thyme to the dough.
- You can store the naan in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
