Dough Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour Use a good quality brand for a nice rise.
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder Helps the naan puff up and become fluffy.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt Essential for flavor.
- 2 tablespoons yogurt Greek yogurt is recommended for creaminess.
- 1 tablespoon oil Any neutral oil works; olive or canola recommended.
- warm water as needed warm water Brings the dough together for a soft, non-sticky texture.
- butter as needed butter (for brushing) Essential for maximum flavor.
- to taste optional chopped cilantro For garnish.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Add the yogurt and oil, mixing until crumbly.
- Gradually add warm water, kneading until soft but not sticky, about 5–7 minutes.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Cooking
- After resting, divide the dough into small balls and roll each into a mini naan shape on a floured surface.
- Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the naan on one side until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown (1–2 minutes).
- Brush immediately with melted butter after removing from the pan. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
Notes
Letting the dough rest is crucial for a great texture. Store leftovers tightly wrapped for 3-4 days. Reheat in a hot pan for best results.
