Super Fluffy Garlic Butter Naan

Naan is a very good flat bread that is perfect when served with flavorful shawarma meat, stews, or even used to make pizzas. It is also very nice when served with a tangy yogurt sauce.

Equipment

  • Large skillet

Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 1 cup Warm Water 100°F-110°F
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 packets of active dry yeast 14g
  • 4 cups All Purpose Flour plus ½ cup Bread Flour
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp oil or Garlic Butter

Garlic Butter

  • 1 stick of butter
  • 1 bulb of garlic

Instructions
 

Garlic Butter

  • Grate a whole garlic bulb. In a skillet on medium heat, melt butter until bubbly but not brown. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Do not brown. Remove from heat and reserve.

Dough

  • In a large bowl, pour in water and sprinkle over yeast. Stir until yeast dissolves. Add sugar and let stand until yeast blooms.
  • Yeast should now have bloomed. Pour in both flours, salt, yogurt, oil. Stir to form a shaggy dough. Turn dough out on work surface. Knead dough until smooth. Dough should be a bit sticky. Keep working dough until it no longer sticky, about 15 mins.
  • Once dough is elastic, add to a large greased bowl. Cover and let rise in warm place for about 1 hour or doubled in size.
  • Once doubled, punch dough down. Stretch it out and cut in half. Cut each half into 6 roughly even pieces.
  • Heat a skillet on high heat. Roll your naan out into an oblong shape. Dough should be pretty thin. Place dough into hot skillet. Allow to brown on once side. Flip once bubbles form. Cook on other side until browned.
  • Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
  • Enjoy!!
