Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 4 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it stand for about 10 minutes, or until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, yogurt, and olive oil.
Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 6-8 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Once risen, punch the dough down and divide it into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and let them rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Roll out one dough ball on a floured surface into a thin oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, and red chili flakes. Brush one side of the rolled naan with the garlic chili butter.
Place the naan buttered side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface.
Brush the top side with the garlic chili butter before flipping. Cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
Remove from the skillet and immediately brush with additional garlic chili butter, if desired. Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro.
Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Serve warm.
