Scale

- 3/4 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil or ghee
Instructions
- 1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle active dry yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- 2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center.
- 3. Combine Ingredients: Pour the activated yeast mixture into the well along with yogurt and olive oil or ghee. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- 4. Knead the Dough: Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 5. Let It Rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.
- 6. Shape Your Naan: Punch down the dough, divide into equal portions, and roll each into an oval about half an inch thick.
- 7. Cook Your Naan: Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for 1-2 minutes per side or until bubbles form and char marks appear.
