Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.75 cup Plain yogurt
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or melted butter
- 2 tablespoons Butter or garlic butter (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
Add the plain yogurt, milk, and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough starts to come together.
Knead the dough with your hands for 4–5 minutes, or until it becomes soft and slightly sticky. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 20–30 minutes, if time allows. This helps the dough soften further.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a small ball.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll each ball into an oval or round shape, about 1/4-inch thick.
Heat a skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until hot. Do not add oil to the pan.
Place one piece of rolled-out dough onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 1–2 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the bottom has golden brown spots.
Flip the naan and cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes. Remove from the skillet and keep warm by wrapping in a clean kitchen towel.
Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.
Optional: Brush the cooked naan with melted butter or garlic butter for added flavor.
