Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 2 tablespoons butter (plus more for brushing)
- Optional: minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
-
Add the yeast mixture, warm milk, and yogurt to the flour. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
-
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
-
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1–2 hours, until doubled in size.
-
Punch down the dough and divide it into 6–8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into an oval about 1/4 inch thick.
-
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for 1–2 minutes per side, until puffed and lightly charred.
-
Brush the hot naan with melted butter and garnish with minced garlic or herbs if desired.
-
Serve warm and enjoy!
