Garlic Naan Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Activate Yeast

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

2. 2

   Make Dough

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

3. 3

   Knead Dough

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

4. 4

   Let Dough Rise

   Place the kneaded 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.

5. 5

   Prepare Garlic Topping

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

6. 6

   Shape Naan

   Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 6-8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it with a rolling pin.

7. 7

   Cook Naan

   Heat a tandoor or a skillet over high heat. Cook each naan for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Brush with the garlic butter mixture while hot.

8. 8

   Serve

   Serve the garlic naan warm, optionally with a side of curry or yogurt.
