Ingredients

1 ⅓ cups - all-purpose flour
½ tsp - salt
¼ tsp - baking powder
¼ tsp - dry yeast
¼ cup - water
2 tablespoons - plain yogurt
1 tbsp - oil

Instructions

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).
Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has visibly risen.
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.
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.
Brush with melted butter or garlic oil while still warm.
