Ingredients

  • ¾ cup Water warm (95-110 degrees F)
  • 1 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
  • ¼ cup Sugar
  • ¼ cup Plain Yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Garlic Butter

  • ¼ cup Butter melted
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 pinch Sea Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Parsley chopped

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar and let it sit for about five minutes, or until bubbly. Add the yogurt, salt, and 1 cup of flour to the yeast mixture, then stir until smooth.
  • Continue adding up to 1 more cup of flour, using enough to make a soft dough that is no longer sticky. Knead a few times in the bowl until smooth.
  • Remove dough, lightly grease the bowl, then place it back in. Cover and let rise for about 10 minutes in a warm place.
  • After the dough has rested, place on a lightly floured surface and cut into 12 equal pieces. Roll each dough ball into a 6-8" round circle using a rolling pin, then cover gently with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and allow the dough to rest for about 10 more minutes. The dough should have risen slightly with bubbles beginning to form.
  • Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil and add each circle of dough. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown on the bottom. Flip over and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden.
  • Continue until all pieces of dough are cooked. Brush the bubbly side of each Naan with melted garlic butter. Enjoy!

Garlic Butter

  • Melt butter in a small pan over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic powder, salt and chopped parsley. Use immediately to brush over the cooked Naan.
