Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, baking powder, and caster sugar. Add the melted butter and natural yogurt. Gradually pour in the water, mixing continuously with a spatula until a soft dough forms. Note: Stop adding water once you have a dough ball, as the amount of water needed depends on the consistency of the yogurt you use.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Grease the mixing bowl with olive oil and place the dough back into the bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 1 hour.

  • After the dough has rested, divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it with a rolling pin into an oval or teardrop shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place one of the rolled-out naans into the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown spots appear. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.

  • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and minced garlic. Brush this mixture over the hot naans as soon as they come off the skillet. Sprinkle with chopped coriander leaves.
  • Serve the naans warm, either as a side to your favorite dishes or on their own.

Notes

Tips and Tricks
Resting Time: Ensure the dough rests for at least 1 hour for softer, fluffier naans.
Heat Control: Keep the skillet at medium-high heat to cook the naans evenly without burning.
Flavor Variations: You can add nigella seeds or sesame seeds to the dough for extra flavor.
