Toppings

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the flour mixture along with Greek yogurt and ghee. Mix until a soft dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 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.

Cooking the Naan

  1. 6

    Divide the Dough

    Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 6-8 equal portions.

  2. 7

    Shape the Naan

    Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it with your hands or a rolling pin to form an oval or round shape, about 1/4 inch thick.

  3. 8

    Cook the Naan

    Preheat a tandoor, skillet, or grill on high heat. Place the naan on the hot surface and cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

  4. 9

    Apply Butter

    Remove the naan from the heat and immediately brush with melted butter. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro.
