Naan Dough
Method
Preparation of Naan
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
Make Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture, yogurt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Shape Naan
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten each ball into an oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake Naan
Preheat your tandoor oven or a pizza stone in your regular oven at the highest setting. Bake each naan for 2-3 minutes, or until puffed and lightly charred.
