Ingredients
- 125 ml whole milk warm
- 5 g granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 350 g all-purpose flour
- 125 ml thick Greek yogurt
- 15 ml ghee or melted butter
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Garnish:
- 15 ml ghee or melted butter
- cilantro chopped
Instructions
Make the dough:
- In a small bowl, combine the warmed milk, sugar and active dry yeast. Give it a stir and set aside until bubbly, about 5 minutes.
- In a stand mixer bowl, add all-purpose flour, Greek yogurt, ghee (or melted butter), salt and activated yeast mixture.
- Knead for about 10 minutes on low-medium speed until the dough comes together and is shiny and smooth.
- If the dough is too sticky, add about 1 tablespoon of flour at a time and continue kneading, until slightly tacky. Conversely, if the dough is too dry, add in 1 teaspoon of water and continue kneading.
- Place the dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm location to double in size.
- On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into 6 to 8 pieces, depending on how large you like them.
- Use a rolling pin to flatten to about about ⅛" inch thickness into a tear-drop shape or oval shape, and set onto a large piece of parchment paper.
- Repeat with the remaining dough.
Cook the naan:
- Heat up a dry frying pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place the shaped dough onto the skillet/fry pan and cover with a lid. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until puffy and use a pair of tongs to flip and cook for another minute, until golden brown.
- Remove naan and brush the top of the naan with melted butter or ghee using a pastry brush.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.
- Cover naan with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
