Soft Garlic Naan

Steps

1. 1.

   1.

   Make The Dough** Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add yogurt, warm water, and oil. Knead 6–8 minutes until soft and smooth. Cover and rise 45–60 minutes until puffy.

2. 2.

   Divide And Rest

   Punch down. Divide into 8 balls. Cover and rest 10 minutes so they roll easier.

3. 3.

   Roll Soft Garlic Naan

   Roll each ball into an oval about 5 mm thick. Do not obsess over perfect shapes. Dust with a little flour if sticky.

4. 4.

   Cook On Skillet Or Tawa

   Heat a cast-iron skillet or tawa until very hot. Place naan on the dry surface. Cook 1–2 minutes until bubbles form and the underside has brown spots. Flip. Cook another 1–2 minutes. Press gently with a spatula for more browning.

5. 5.

   Brush Garlic Butter

   Melt butter with minced garlic and a pinch of salt over low heat just until fragrant, 30–60 seconds. Brush onto hot naan. Sprinkle coriander.

6. 6.

   Serve Warm

   Stack and wrap in a clean towel to keep soft. Eat with dal, curry, or just more butter.
