Ingredients

  • 1/4 C warm water
  • 2 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1.5 tsp active dry or instant rapid rise yeast
  • 3/4 C warm milk
  • 3/4 C plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 C vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 C all purpose flour + more for dusting
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt

Garlic butter:

  • 3 Tbsp butter melted
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp fresh chopped cilantro or parsley

For cooking:

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  • Begin by combining water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Allow the mixture to sit for 5-10 minutes until it starts bubbling on top.
  • Next, add milk, yogurt, oil, minced garlic, flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Mix everything together until the dough comes together using your hands.
  • Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it with floured hands until it becomes smooth, typically taking 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Lightly grease the same mixing bowl with a small spray of cooking oil to prepare for the naan.
  • Place the dough back into the greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Allow it to rest at room temperature for approximately an hour, until it doubles in size.
  • Once the dough has risen, divide it into 10 equal pieces and shape them into balls.
  • Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball of dough into a large oval shape, about 6 inches long and 1/8 inch thick.
  • Heat a pan over high heat. Lightly grease the surface with oil to prevent the dough from sticking.
