Ingredients
Instructions
Make the Dough
- Step 1
In a bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and dry yeast. Add water, yogurt, and oil. Mix and knead into a soft, slightly sticky dough (about 5–8 minutes by hand).
Let it Rise
- Step 2
Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has visibly risen.
Shape the Naan
- Step 3
Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Form little balls and let them rest for 10 minutes. Roll or stretch each piece into an oval or teardrop shape, about 0.5 cm thick.
Cook the Naan
- Step 4
Heat a pan (non-stick or cast iron) over high heat – no oil needed. Cook each naan for about 1–2 minutes per side, until bubbles form and brown spots appear.
Finishing Touch
- Step 5
Brush with melted butter or garlic oil while still warm.
