Homemade Naan
Directions
- 1Add 1 teaspoon of instant dry yeast, 1 cup of warm water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt and 1 large egg to a mixing bowl.
- 2Mix until combined and the egg yolk is broken up.
- 3Gradually add in 2 1/2 to 3 cups of all-purpose flour, stirring until it's too difficult to stir with a spoon.
- 4Scrape off most of the dough from the spoon and start kneading the dough with your hands.
- 5The dough should be soft, smooth and tacky, but not sticky enough to stick to your hands.
- 6Lightly grease another clean bowl, add in the dough, and roll it around a little to coat it.
- 7Cover the bowl with a tea towel or plastic wrap and let it rise until it's approximately double in size, which will take about 1 hour.
- 8Once risen, remove the dough from the bowl and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
- 9Take each piece and gently roll it into a small dough ball.
- 10Loosely cover the dough balls with plastic wrap and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- 11When ready to cook, take each dough ball and roll it out into a teardrop or circular shape, making it pretty flat, just a fraction of an inch thick.
- 12Place the rolled-out dough onto a hot skillet on the stove that's been heated over high heat.
- 13Brush some melted butter over the top of the dough.
- 14Once bubbles start to appear, flip the naan to cook the other side.
- 15Brush the other side with a little melted butter.
- 16Once one side is flat with a golden brown color and the other side has deep golden brown almost black pockets where the bubbles formed, remove the naan from the skillet.
- 17Continue cooking the remaining dough, one at a time, or more if using multiple skillets or a grill.
- 18While one is cooking, roll out the next one so everything is ready to go.

Tips
- You can make garlic naan, onion naan or even cinnamon naan by adding a few extra things to the dough.
- You can freeze the cooked naan and reheat it in a 350-degree oven for 1-2 minutes.
- Keep an eye on the temperature of your skillet so the naan doesn't burn.
