Naan Bread (Garlic and Butter)

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp active dry yeast
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 1 cup warm water (approx)
• 3 tbsp minced garlic (for topping)
• 3 tbsp butter, melted (for brushing)
• 2 tbsp chopped cilantro (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Activate yeast by mixing it with warm water and sugar. Let it froth for 5-10 mins.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and yogurt. Add yeast mixture and knead into a soft dough. Cover and let rise for 1.5 - 2 hours until doubled in size.

3. 3

   Punch down dough and divide into 6 balls. Roll out each ball into an oval shape.

4. 4

   Sprinkle minced garlic and cilantro on top and press gently.

5. 5

   Heat a heavy skillet/tawa. Place naan on it. Cook until bubbles appear, then flip and cook other side until charred spots appear. (Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 260°C (500°F) or use stovetop flame to char).

6. 6

   Brush generously with melted butter before serving.
