Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Warm water
- 0.5 cup Plain yogurt
- 2.25 teaspoons Dry active yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or melted butter
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and dry active yeast. Stir and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.
Add the yogurt and the frothy yeast mixture to the flour mixture. Stir until the dough starts to come together.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
On a floured surface, roll each dough ball into an oval or round shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic and chopped cilantro.
Sprinkle the garlic-cilantro mixture onto each rolled-out dough piece, pressing lightly to ensure it adheres.
Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Place one piece of rolled-out dough (garlic-cilantro side up) onto the dry skillet.
Cook for about 2 minutes, until bubbles form and the underside is golden brown. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Brush the freshly cooked naan with olive oil or melted butter while it is still warm.
Repeat with the remaining dough pieces.
Serve warm alongside your favorite dishes or enjoy on its own!
