Garlic Naan Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Activate the Yeast

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

   Make the Dough

   In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture, yogurt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

   Knead the Dough

   Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours.

   Prepare Garlic Mixture

   While the dough is rising, finely chop 4-5 cloves of garlic and mix with 2 tablespoons of melted butter and a pinch of salt.
