Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup water 110 degrees F
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast 1 envelope
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt kosher
  • 3/4 cup milk 110 degrees F
  • 3/4 cup PLAIN yogurt unflavored
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
OPTIONAL
  • Fresh cilantro for the top

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, stir together the honey and water until combined. Sprinkle yeast on top and mix a little. Let sit for about five to 10 minutes. The mixture will start to look foamy.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the flour and salt – set aside.
  3. Using the paddle attachment, mix the milk and yogurt to the yeast mixture and then gradually add the flour, mixing until the dough forms a ball.
  4. Attach the dough hook and knead for 5 minutes – it should pull away from the sides of the bowl and be smooth and stretchy.
  5. Remove dough from the stand mixer bowl, and place in a greased bowl. Cover with a clean towel and let sit in a warm place until it doubles in size, 1-1.5 hrs.
  6. Lightly flour your countertop and dump the dough out onto it. Divide the dough into eight equal balls. Using a rolling pin, roll one ball at a time until it’s about 1/8-inch thick into a circle or oval shape.
  7. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Lightly brush one side of the rolled naan dough with melted butter and place in the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes. It may bubble up!
  8. Brush the uncooked side with butter and flip. Cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm. Repeat until all the naan is cooked.
  9. Brush finished pieces with butter, and sprinkle with cilantro (if desired).

Notes

  • Use Naan in place of pizza crust for a fun twist. Bake with sauce, cheese and toppings.
