This Naan Recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make Indian flatbread that is perfect for accompanying a variety of dishes.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon sugar to activate yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup warm water temperature between 105°F and 110°F
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil plus more for greasing
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it stand for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix in the yogurt and oil, then add the yeast mixture. Knead until a smooth dough forms.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into small balls. Roll out each ball on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly grease it. Place the rolled-out dough on the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
