Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Make Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yogurt, activated yeast mixture, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

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

  4. 4

    First Rise

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

  5. 5

    Shape Naan

    Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten into an oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.

  6. 6

    Cook Naan

    Heat a cast-iron skillet or tandoor over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for 1-2 minutes on each side until puffed and golden brown. Brush with olive oil or butter if desired.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve warm with your favorite curries or dips.
