Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Garlic Naan Bread
- In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and ¾ cup of warm water. Stir gently and let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Create a well and add the activated yeast mixture, ¼ cup yogurt, and 2 tablespoons of oil or ghee. Mix until a dough forms and knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the dough into a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough, divide it into 8 equal portions, and roll each into an oval shape, about 8 inches long.
- Heat a greased skillet over medium-high heat. Cook one naan for about 1 minute until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another minute.
- Mix together 2 tablespoons of melted butter with 2 cloves of minced garlic. Brush cooked naan with the garlic butter and garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley if desired.
