Tips

  • You don't technically have to wait for instant yeast to activate, but it's good to ensure it's alive.
  • The dough should be a little sticky but manageable.
  • Let the dough double in size for about an hour in a warm place.
  • Cover the shaped naan balls with a slightly damp towel to prevent them from drying out during the second rest.
  • Be relatively gentle when rolling out the naan.
  • Roll the naan pretty thin for best results.
  • Put the lid on the skillet for about a minute to help the naan bubble up.
  • Brush with garlic butter on both sides while cooking.
