Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Warm water
- 0.5 cup Plain yogurt
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Garlic (minced)
- 4 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, yogurt, milk, and olive oil. Pour in the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten into small oval shapes about 5-6 inches long and 1/4 inch thick.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. While the skillet is heating, prepare the garlic butter by mixing the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro in a small bowl.
Place a flattened dough piece on the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and slightly puffed.
Repeat with the remaining dough pieces.
As soon as each naan comes off the skillet, brush it generously with the garlic butter mixture.
Serve warm and enjoy as a side dish or snack.
