- 1 cup warm water
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp butter or ghee (for brushing)
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by mixing it with warm water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and yogurt; mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm area for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough, divide it into six equal portions, and shape each into a ball.
- Roll each ball into an oval about 1/4 inch thick. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook each naan for 1-2 minutes per side until bubbly, brushing with melted butter or ghee while warm.
