Introduction:
This soft, buttery naan is a delightful addition to any meal. Known for its pillowy texture and golden brown spots, naan is a popular flatbread in Indian cuisine that pairs perfectly with curries, and soups, or is even enjoyed on its own. The best part? You can make this delicious naan home with just a few simple ingredients!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup warm water (add more if needed)
- Butter or ghee for brushing
Instructions:
- Combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl.
- Add yogurt and warm water gradually, mixing to form a soft dough. Knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 1 hour.
- Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball).
- Roll each ball into a round flatbread about 1/4 inch thick.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Place the naan on the hot skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown spots appear.
- Brush the hot naan with melted butter or ghee and serve warm.
