Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Low-fat yogurt
- 0.5 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together low-fat yogurt, warm water, olive oil, and honey until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a naan shape, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic to the skillet.
Cook each naan for about 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Once each naan is cooked, place it on a plate and brush with a little more olive oil if desired.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
