Instructions

1
|
Whisk together the yeast, water, and sugar in a large mixing bowl until frothy. Add the olive oil and Greek yogurt. Stir to combine. Add the flour, salt, and baking soda to the bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon until dry ingredients are combined into wet ingredients.
2
|
Using clean hands, knead the mixture until a tacky dough forms, 1-2 minutes. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and set aside to rise until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
3
|
Place a pizza stone on middle rack of oven. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
4
|
Turn dough onto a well-floured surface and divide into 6 equal pieces. Use a rolling pin to roll each piece to a scant 1/4-inch thick.
5
|
Open oven and swiftly place naan dough pieces on the pizza stone. Bake until slightly risen, about 5 minutes.
6
|
Open oven once more, and flip the naan. Continue baking until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes.
7
|
Check to see that naan is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
8
|
Brush naan on both sides with the melted butter, if desired, and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Pizza Stone Preheating Pro 🔥
    Place your pizza stone in the oven during preheating for at least 45-60 minutes to ensure maximum heat retention and authentic tandoor-like crispy naan edges.
  • Yogurt Activation Technique 🥛
    Use room temperature Greek yogurt to help activate the yeast and create a more tender, soft naan with perfect fermentation and elasticity.
  • Moisture Magic 💧
    Cover the dough during resting with a damp kitchen towel to prevent surface drying and maintain optimal humidity for smooth, pliable naan.
  • Butter Brushing Brilliance 🧈
    Immediately brush warm naan with salted butter right after removing from the oven to enhance flavor and create a glossy, restaurant-quality finish.
  • Shaping Precision 🤲
    Use gentle hand-stretching instead of a rolling pin to maintain the traditional naan's uneven, rustic texture and create those signature air bubbles.
