Method
Preparation Steps
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
Mix Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yogurt, olive oil, and the activated yeast mixture.
Knead Dough
Mix the ingredients until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Shape Naan
Preheat a skillet or tandoor over medium-high heat. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into small balls. Roll each ball into an oval or round shape about 1/4 inch thick.
Cook Naan
Place the rolled naan on the hot skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through, puffing up as it cooks.
