Instructions
1
|
Stir together the water, sugar, and yeast until dissolved. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly pour in the yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon or dough scraper until combined.
2
|
Once the dough is roughly combined, add the yogurt and knead the dough either with the dough hooks of a hand mixer, by hand, or with a stand mixer for about 5 minutes.
3
|
Let the dough rise, covered, in a warm place for about 30 to 60 minutes.
4
|
Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and divide it into six equal pieces, shaping each piece into a ball. Flatten each ball into a flatbread by hand or with a rolling pin.
5
|
Cook the naan breads one at a time in a nonstick skillet without oil. Once the dough starts to form bubbles, flip the bread and cook the other side until done.

Optional: Brush the naan breads with the herb marinade before flipping.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Yeast Activation Magic 🌟Activate the fresh yeast in lukewarm water with a pinch of sugar to ensure maximum fermentation and create a more elastic, flavorful naan dough.
- Resting is Key 🕰️Allow the naan dough to rest for at least 1 hour in a warm, draft-free area to develop complex flavors and achieve a lighter, more tender texture.
- Whole-Wheat Flour Pro Tip 🌾Sift the whole-wheat flour before mixing to remove any coarse bits and ensure a smoother, more consistent dough with better rise and texture.
- Cast Iron Perfection 🍳Use a preheated cast-iron skillet or griddle for the most authentic naan, which creates those signature charred bubbles and crispy exterior.
- Yogurt Moisture Hack 💧The plain yogurt not only adds tanginess but helps keep the naan incredibly soft - use full-fat yogurt for the best moisture and flavor retention.
