Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sugar. Mix well.
Add the Greek yogurt and warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until the dough starts to come together.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Once rested, divide the dough into 4 equal parts and roll each into a ball.
Flatten each ball into an oval shape using a rolling pin, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, chili flakes, and chopped cilantro.
Brush each rolled-out naan with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle the garlic, chili, and cilantro mixture on top, pressing it lightly with the rolling pin.
Heat a skillet or pan over medium-high heat.
Place naans in the hot skillet, one at a time, cooking for about 2 minutes on each side until bubbles form and the bottom is golden brown.
Brush the cooked naan with melted unsalted butter immediately after removing from the skillet.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
Serve warm with your favorite low-sodium dish.
