Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Whole wheat flour
- 100 grams Plain yogurt
- 60 milliliters Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cloves Minced garlic (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
Add the plain yogurt and warm water to the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a dough begins to form.
Add olive oil, and continue to knead the dough with your hands for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature to allow the dough to relax. This will make it easier to roll out.
After resting, divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Lightly flour a clean work surface. Using a rolling pin, roll out each dough ball into an oval or circular shape, around 5-6 inches in diameter and about 1/4 inch thick.
Optional: If you want garlic or cilantro naan, sprinkle some minced garlic or chopped cilantro on one side of the rolled-out dough and gently press it in with the rolling pin.
Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until hot.
Place one rolled-out naan onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the bottom is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Flip the naan and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, until it is golden brown and evenly cooked.
Remove from the skillet and keep warm by wrapping in a clean kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Serve warm with your favorite dishes.
