Dough Ingredients

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Yeast

    In a small bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water and then sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yogurt, olive oil, and the yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let the Dough Rise

    Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.

  5. 5

    Prepare Garlic Butter

    In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic and some chopped fresh cilantro (optional).

  6. 6

    Shape the Naan

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion out into an oval or teardrop shape.

  7. 7

    Cook the Naan

    Preheat a skillet or tandoor over medium-high heat. Place the rolled naan on the skillet, cooking each side for about 2-3 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.

  8. 8

    Brush with Garlic Butter

    Remove the naan from the skillet and immediately brush with the garlic butter. Serve warm.
