Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.75 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Light spread margarine
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in garlic powder.
Add the plain non-fat Greek yogurt and warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until the dough comes together.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back into the bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and shape each part into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into an oval shape about 1/4 inch thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly brush with olive oil.
Place a naan into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles start to form on the surface.
Flip the naan and cook the other side for another 2 minutes until lightly browned.
Remove from skillet and brush with a small amount of light spread margarine.
Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve warm.
Repeat the cooking process for the remaining naan.
