Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the activated yeast, yogurt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to 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 damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Cooking Naan

  1. 6

    Prepare Topping

    In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, chopped green chillies, and chopped cilantro. Set aside.

  2. 7

    Shape the Naan

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into an oval shape.

  3. 8

    Cook the Naan

    Preheat a tandoor or skillet over medium-high heat. Place one naan on the surface and cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the top.

  4. 9

    Add Topping

    Flip the naan over, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle the garlic and chilli mixture on top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

  5. 10

    Repeat

    Repeat the cooking process with the remaining naan. Serve warm.
