Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, instant yeast, salt, and baking powder. Mix well using a whisk or fork.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add warm water, olive oil, and Greek yogurt. Stir the mixture gradually until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the kneaded dough back in the bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Incorporate the minced garlic and chili flakes into the dough by kneading gently.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Let them rest for another 10 minutes under the damp cloth.
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
Take one ball of dough and roll it out on a floured surface into an oval shape, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Place the rolled dough onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until brown spots appear, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Once cooked, brush each naan with melted butter if using. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve warm as a delicious accompaniment to curries or soups.
