Homemade Naan Bread Recipe

In the bowl of a standing mixer, combine water yeast and honey. Let sit until foamy.

Add milk, yogurt and olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.

Add 2 cups flour, baking powder and sea salt and stir until incorporated.

Add additional flour ¼ to ½ cup at a time until the dough forms a ball and is only very slightly tacky.

Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth.

Lightly grease a large bowl, add dough and cover with a wet towel let rise until doubled.

Once doubled, punch down the dough to release gas.

Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces (I recommend weighing the dough to ensure they are all the same size).

Roll each piece of dough into ¼” thick oval or circle.

Preheat a 10” round skillet over medium heat.

Brush one side of the naan dough circle with melted butter and place it buttered side down on the preheated skillet.

Immediately butter the other side (that is facing up) and lightly sprinkle it with garlic salt.

Cook until large bubbles form (about 2-3 minutes)

Flip and cook on the second side until browned (about 2 more minutes)

If desired, sprinkle warm naan on one side with fresh cilantro.

Remove from heat, let cool slightly and serve warm.
