Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter
- 3/4 cup warm water (adjust as needed)
- Optional: garlic, herbs, or butter for topping
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add yogurt and oil (or melted butter) to the dry mix. Gradually add warm water and knead until a soft dough forms.
- Rest the Dough: Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 30–60 minutes.
- Divide and Shape: Divide the dough into 6–8 equal portions. Roll each portion into an oval or round shape.
- Cook the Naan: Heat a skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for 1–2 minutes on each side until bubbles form and golden brown spots appear.
- Optional Toppings: Brush with butter or garlic butter and sprinkle with herbs if desired.
- Serve: Serve warm with curries, soups, or as a side bread.
