Easy Naan Bread Recipe
Soft and flavorful flatbread made with yogurt and topped with melted butter and garlic.
Equipment
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.
