Homemade Naan Bread

Ingredients:

  • 3 Cups - Flour, divided

  • ½ Tsp - Salt

  • ¼ Cup - Olive or Avocado Oil

  • ⅓ Cup - Greek Yogurt

  • 1 - Egg, large

  • 2 Tsp - Active Yeast

  • 1 Tsp - Sugar

  • ½ Cup - Warm Water

Preparation:

  1. Begin by mixing the yeast, sugar, and warm water in a small bowl. Set aside.

  2. Meanwhile, measure out 1 cup of flour with salt to a medium bowl.

  3. When yeast mixture begins to foam, add egg, oil, and yogurt, whisking to combine.

  4. Add wet mixture to flour mixture and stir with a fork.

  5. Add ½ cup of flour until mixture is no longer wet. (I typically add a total of about 1 cup.)

  6. Remove dough from bowl and place on a floured surface.

  7. Knead the dough for about 3 minutes, adding more flour as needed to prevent from sticking. Do not over flour as you will end up with a dry dough.

  8. Place back in bowl, lightly cover with plastic wrap or a towel and let rise for 1 - 1-½ hours on the counter. When risen, dough should be doubled in size.

  9. Remove dough onto floured surface and cut into 8 pieces.

  10. Roll each piece of dough fairly thin, but not too thin that it breaks apart.

  11. Heat a pan over medium heat. When hot, place rolled out dough in pan.

  12. When bubbles form and underside has a nice color, flip and cook for just a minute.

  13. Remove from pan and brush with melted butter.

  14. Repeat with remaining dough, adjusting heat of pan as needed.

  15. Serve and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Dough should be soft and easy to work with, not sticky.

  • You can divide the dough into sections and wrap each section to store in the fridge for a day or two before cooking. Just be sure to not overproof the dough.

  • Get creative! Add seasonings to wet mixture such as garlic powder or dried herbs, or make a garlic or herb butter to brush over top of warm bread.
