Homemade Naan
Nothing beats a plate of freshly cooked, homemade naan. My naan recipe is soft, fluffy, and incredibly easy to make.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and levelled)
- ¾ cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Add the flour to a large mixing bowl.
- To a liquid measuring cup, add the warm water, sugar, yeast, salt, yogurt, and olive oil. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until combined (it's okay if it's not completely smooth- the dough should be fairly wet).
- Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for 45-90 minutes. For the warm place, I preheat my oven for 30 seconds, turn it off, then place the dough inside with the oven light on.
- Fill a bowl with about ½ a cup of flour. Sprinkle flour on your work surface, then divide the dough into 6 pieces.
- Take one piece of dough and roll it in the bowl of flour so it's not sticky. Then stretch it into an oval shape using your hands. If the dough is not stretching, let it rest for 3 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
- Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat until hot. Lay the dough flat in the pan and cover with a lid. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbly, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the bottom is lightly brown and charred in some spots. Transfer to a plate and brush with melted butter.
