Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 ¼ cup plain whole milk yogurt
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 stick of unsalted butter
- 5 finely minced cloves of garlic
Instructions
- Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, powdered sugar, and salt to a bowl and mix until combined. Form a well.
- Pour the oil and yogurt to the center of the well and begin mixing with your hands. Slowly pour in the milk as needed to make a soft dough.
- Knead for 5 to 7 minutes and then add to a bowl, cover with plastic, and let sit in a warm place for 1 hour.
- Unwrap and form 12 equal-sized dough balls. Roll each dough ball out on a clean surface lightly dusted with flour. Brush 1 side with water before cooking.
- Add the water brushed side down on a large preheated saute pan at medium-high heat and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Flip the pan over and roast the other side of the bread over the open flame until browned.
- Repeat until all of the bread is done cooking. Keep warm.
- In a small pot melt the butter and garlic together and cook over medium heat just until the garlic is fragrant, which takes about 2 minutes.
- Brush the bread with the garlic butter and serve garnished with optional chopped parsley.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: For freshness, you can make this up to one day ahead.
- How to Store: Naan should be stored at room temperature, covered in plastic, and will stay fresh for up to 3 days. For freezing, cover in plastic and keep in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator until thawed.
- How To Reheat: Wrap the desired amount if naan in foil and place in the oven at 250° for 5-7 minutes.
- You do not have to use all of the milk, consistency of maintaining a soft dough is key.
- Brushing the dough with water helps it stick to the pan, allowing you to cook on both sides and brown it.
- Adding garlic to naan bread is traditional and nothing short of delicious. Add some butter to a small pot and some finely minced garlic, and cook until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant. Brush one side of the naan bread with the garlic butter and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
