Author Notes: I love naan, and adding some tasty garnishes only makes it better. You can easily make this without the garlic and cilantro, if you wish. —Erin McDowell
Makes: 6-8 pieces
Ingredients
-
1
lb all purpose flour
-
1/2
tsp salt
-
3
cloves garlic, minced
-
1/4
cup cilantro, roughly chopped
-
1
(7 g) package yeast
-
3/4
cup warm water
-
1/3
cup Greek yogurt
-
1
Tbsp melted butter, plus more for brushing
-
kosher salt, as needed for garnish
Directions
- In a medium bowl (or use a mixer with a dough hook) combine the flour, salt, garlic, cilantro, and yeast. Add the water, yogurt, and butter slowly and mix to combine. Knead the dough for 5-6 minutes (3-4 in a mixer).
- Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl and allow to rise until double in size, about 45 minutes – 1 hour.
- Divide the dough into equal pieces (6-8 depending on the size you want). Use flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking.
- Heat a large saute pan over medium high heat. Brush the rolled out dough with the butter, and cook until browned lightly on each side, 1-2 minutes per side. Finish with a sprinkling of salt. Keep warm until ready to serve.
