homemade garlic naan bread

Makes: 6 naan breads

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp instant yeast
3 tbsp plain yogurt
2 tbsp oil or melted butter
¾ cup warm water
Extra melted butter for brushing
Optional: minced garlic and chopped cilantro

first combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp instant yeast in a large mixing bowl

add 3 tbsp plain yogurt, 2 tbsp oil or melted butter, and ¾ cup warm water before mixing into a dough

knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth, soft, and elastic

cover the bowl and leave the dough to rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size

once risen, divide the dough into 6 equal pieces

roll each piece into an oval or teardrop shape around ½ cm thick

heat a frying pan over high heat with no oil

place one naan into the hot dry pan and cook for about 1 minute until bubbles form and brown spots appear underneath

flip the naan and cook for another minute until the second side is golden and cooked through

repeat with the remaining dough pieces

brush each naan generously with melted butter while still warm

for garlic naan, mix minced garlic and parsley into the melted butter before brushing

serve immediately with my pork and chickpea curry (i hope!!)
