Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup milk 2 Tablespoon removed
  • 1/4 cup yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • pinch Sugar
  • 1/4 cup ghee or use melted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced, optional topping
  • 2 TBSP chopped cilantro optional, we liked them with it but not necessary

Instructions

  • mix the dry ingredients together and make a well in the center
  • mix the milk, yogurt, egg, and sugar together
  • pour in the flour mixture and lightly stir until it comes together as a loose dough
  • turn it out on a lightly oiled counter and knead 5 minutes
  • cover for 30 minutes
  • when you're ready to cook them use any of these pans and the method to use them:
    Baking Sheet in the oven: broil on high, adjust baking sheet about 8 inches down
    Electric Griddle: set it on high
    Cast Iron Double Burner griddle: set it over two burners on the stovetop, set burners to med/high
    Any of these methods require you to flip the naan to cook both sides
  • divide the dough into 8 pieces
  • on a lightly floured surface roll each piece out in a teardrop shape about 8 inches long and 6 inches wide at the widest
  • cook 1 or 2 at a time on your preferred pan, flip once one side is bubbling and cooked, 1-2 minutes, flip and cook the other side for about 1 minute
  • remove from the pan, brush with ghee or butter, repeat with the remaining dough
  • once they're done sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and minced garlic if desired and serve hot
