Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    Add the yogurt and olive oil to the flour mixture. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Form Dough

    Pour the activated yeast mixture into the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms.

  5. 5

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  6. 6

    Let it Rise

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

  7. 7

    Shape the Naan

    Punch down the risen dough and divide it into small portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into an oval or round shape.

  8. 8

    Cook the Naan

    Preheat a skillet or tandoor over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and puffed.

  9. 9

    Serve

    Brush with melted butter or garlic butter if desired and serve warm.
