Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup warm water
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup plain yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 ½ cups all purpose flour more or less
  • 2 Tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tsp garlic minced (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl; let sit for five minutes or till bubbly. Add olive oil, yogurt, egg, salt and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Stir till smooth.
  • Add enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead a few times on a floured counter until smooth. 
  • Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, 30-60 minutes.
  • Cut the dough ball into eight equal portions. On a floured work surface, use a rolling pin to roll out each piece into a 6" circle. 
  • Preheat a large skillet to medium heat.
  • Add a little oil or non-stick spray to the skillet. Cook each circle for 2-3 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown on the bottom. Flip over and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Brush the top of each naan with melted butter. I added garlic to my butter, but that is optional.
