Garlic Naan

Ingredients

  • ¼ Cup warm Water

  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar

  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast

  • ¾ Cup warm Milk

  • 3/4 Cup Greek Yogurt

  • 4 Cups all-purpose Flour

  • 1 teaspoon Salt

  • ½ Cup salted Butter (melted)

  • 5 cloves of Garlic (minced)

  • 2 Tablespoons of unsalted butter

  • Fresh Cilantro

Directions

  • In a medium bowl combine the yeast, sugar, and water and let sit until foamy (takes about 5-10 minutes).

  • While you are waiting, in a large bowl add in your flour and salt and mix till combined.

  • Whisk in the warm milk and plain yogurt together gently. Once combined, add the yeast mixture into the milk and yogurt mixture and stir until well-combined.

  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until a loose dough is formed.

  • Turn out onto a lightly-floured surface and knead until smooth, about 3-4 minutes (it will come together even though it doesn’t seem like it).

  • Transfer the dough to a large, lightly oiled bowl and cover loosely with a towel. Let rise at room temperature until doubled in size this takes about 1 hour.

  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead briefly into a disc to allow an easy cut.

  • Cut the dough into 12 equal-sized pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.

  • Heat a large, heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat and once hot, add in 2 Tablespoons of unsalted butter. Roll each dough ball out until it is about 1/4-inch-thick. Brush the dough lightly with melted salted butter and place one at a time onto the hot skillet.

  • Cook until large bubbles form on the surface, about 2 minutes. Flip the dough and cook the other side until golden, about 1-2 more minutes. Stack the cooked flat bread on a plate and cover with a towel to keep warm as you cook the remaining pieces.

  • Add the minced garlic to the remaining melted butter and heat for 30 seconds on the stove top. Brush the warm naan with the garlic butter and top with cilantro.
