Dough

Garlic Infusion

Method

Preparing the Dough

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the frothy yeast mixture, yogurt, and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough begins to form.

  4. 4

    Knead Dough

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

  5. 5

    Let Dough Rise

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

Making Garlic Infusion

  1. 6

    Prepare Garlic Butter

    Melt butter in a small pan over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 7

    Add Cilantro

    If using, finely chop fresh cilantro and mix it into the garlic butter. Season with salt to taste.

Cooking Naan

  1. 8

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions (about 8 balls). Roll each ball into a teardrop or oval shape.

  2. 9

    Cook Naan

    Heat a skillet or tandoor over medium-high heat. Place the rolled naan on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

  3. 10

    Finish with Garlic Butter

    Brush the cooked naan with the garlic butter while still hot. Repeat with remaining naan.
