Ingredients
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let it sit for 10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is active and ready to use.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, yogurt, and oil. Then add the activated yeast mixture and knead the combined dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Once risen, divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each piece into an oval shape approximately 8 inches long, ready for cooking.
Heat a greased skillet over medium-high heat. Place each naan on the hot skillet and cook until bubbles form and the bottom side is golden brown, about 1 minute. Flip and cook the other side for another minute until cooked through and nicely browned.
Mix the minced garlic with the melted butter. Brush this fragrant garlic butter mixture over the hot naans immediately after cooking. Sprinkle with additional salt if desired and garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley to finish.
