Naan

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 2 tablespoons ghee or butter

Method

1. 1

   In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and yogurt.

3. 3

   Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

4. 4

   Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

5. 5

   Once risen, punch the dough down and divide it into 4 equal balls. Roll each ball into an oval or teardrop shape about 1/4 inch thick.

6. 6

   Heat a skillet or tandoor over medium-high heat. Place the rolled naan onto the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form.

7. 7

   Flip the naan and cook for another 1-2 minutes until it is golden brown. Brush with ghee or butter immediately after cooking.

8. 8

   Serve warm with your favorite curry or enjoy as is.
