Ingredients

¼ cup warm water
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1½ teaspoons active dry yeast
4 cups flour plus extra for lightly dusting before rolling out
¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
¾ cup warm milk
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons garlic minced
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Naan Prep

3 tablespoons butter melted
2 tablespoons garlic minced
2 teaspoon fresh chopped cilantro or parsley

Instructions

Dough

Add the warm water, sugar, and yeast to a large bowl. Stir and mix. Allow the yeast to proof for about five minutes.
After the five minutes, add in your flour, yogurt, milk, oil, garlic, baking powder, and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
Knead with a dough hook for about five minutes on medium speed if using a stand mixer. If using your hands, transfer the dough ball to a lightly floured flat surface and knead for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the dough ball to a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean towel and place in a warm spot for 2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Cooking

Once the dough has doubled in size, transfer the dough ball to a lightly floured surface.
Divide the dough into 10 even portions.
Take each portion and roll it into a ball. Set aside and once you have rolled all of the dough, cover with a clean kitchen towel. Allow them to rest for 15 minutes.
Lightly dust a clean, flat surface with some flour. Roll the prepared dough into an oval shape.
Prepare a cast iron skillet (a non-stick skillet will be fine as well.) by heating over medium-low heat.
Cook on one side in the pre-heated skillet until you see bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and continue to cook for about one minute on the other side.
Remove and place on a plate and repeat steps 4-5 with the remaining dough.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter.
Once melted, add in the garlic and parsley. Mix well.
Brush the butter mixture on the top of the cooked naan.
Serve and enjoy warm!
