Garlic Naan

Prep30 mins
Cook3 hrs
Serves12 flatbreads

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 cup water, at room temperature
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup full-fat plain yogurt
  • 3/4 cup whole milk, at room temperature

Cooking oil, for the bowl

  • 3 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 stick melted unsalted butter

Kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. In a glass measuring cup, combine the yeast, sugar, and water and let sit for 10 minutes. In the meantime, mix the flour, baking soda, and baking powder in a large bowl.
  3. Whisk together the yeast mixture, yogurt, and milk and stir into the dry ingredients.
  4. Knead with your hands until the dough forms a smooth, soft ball, about 2 minutes. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Leave at room temperature until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
  5. Remove the dough from the bowl and turn onto a well-floured surface. Knead it briefly and divide the dough into 12 equal portions.
  6. Roll it into 1/4-inch-thick ovals, approximately 6 inches wide.
  7. Heat a cast-iron skillet over moderately high heat. Sprinkle each portion with minced garlic and press it into the dough.
  8. Brush the dough with melted butter and place in skillet. Cook for about one minute, until the dough puffs up.
  9. Flip, cover the pan, and cook for one more minute.
  10. Remove from the pan, brush both sides with butter, and sprinkle with salt. Place in a towel-lined bowl until ready to serve.
