Naan Dough

Method

Preparation and Baking

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the yeast is activated, add it to the flour mixture along with yogurt and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

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

  5. 5

    Let it Rise

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

  6. 6

    Shape the Naan

    Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a tear shape.

  7. 7

    Cook the Naan

    Place the rolled naan in the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until puffed and golden brown.

  8. 8

    Add Garlic Butter

    Melt some butter in a pan and add minced garlic. Brush this garlic butter over the naan as soon as they come out of the skillet.

  9. 9

    Serve

    Serve warm with your favorite curry or dip.
