Step-by-Step Instructions
- Combine 1 teaspoon of sugar, 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast, and 3/4 cup of warm water in a small bowl. Stir gently and let it sit for about 10 minutes until bubbly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Make a well and pour in the yeast mixture, 1/4 cup of yogurt, and 2 tablespoons of oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead for about 10 minutes until smooth.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl, covering it with a damp cloth. Allow it to rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Gently punch down the dough, divide into 8 portions, and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball into an oval shape, approximately 8 inches long and 1/4 inch thick.
- Preheat a greased skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for about 1 minute on one side until bubbly and golden, flip and cook for another minute until puffed.
- In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of melted butter with 2 cloves of minced garlic. Brush this garlic butter over the hot naan, sprinkle with salt, and garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley.
