Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup PLAIN yogurt
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 4 Tablespoons salted butter
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Combine the water and honey in the bowl of a stand mixer and stir until the honey has dissolved. Add the yeast and give it a quick stir, then allow the yeast to proof for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Turn the mixer onto low speed, and gradually add the flour, yogurt, salt, baking powder, and egg. Once those start to come together, increase the mixer speed to medium-low, and continue mixing the dough for 2-3 minutes, until the dough starts looking nice and smooth. The dough may be slightly sticky, but should form into a ball that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Take the bowl off the stand mixer and pull the dough out to form into a ball with your hands. Add a little oil to the bowl just to coat the bottom and the sides, then return the ball of dough to the ball, giving it a quick turn to coat it lightly in oil. Cover with a damp cloth and place in a warm area to rise for 1 hour, until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, melt the butter in a small pan or in a microwave-safe bowl, then add the chopped garlic and stir so that the butter is infused with the garlic flavor. Set aside to brush on the naan just after cooking.
- Once the dough has almost doubled in size, transfer it to a floured work surface. Cut into 8 equal size pieces and roll each into a ball with your hands. Then roll out each ball of dough on a floured surface using a rolling pin, forming a circle or oval until the dough is a little less than 1/4-inch thick.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy saute pan over medium-high heat. Add one of the rolled-out dough sections to the dry pan and cook, one at a time, for 1 minute, or until the dough begins to bubble on top and the bottom turns lightly golden brown. Flip the dough with a spatula and cook on the second side for 30-60 seconds, or until the bottom is nicely golden brown as well.
- Transfer to a plate and brush naan lightly with the garlic-infused butter, then sprinkle with a bit of chopped cilantro. Keep cooked naan covered while repeating the process with the remaining dough. Serve warm.
Notes
- If you aren't big on garlic, just leave it out and brush your cooked naan bread with melted butter for plain naan bread.
