Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) instant yeast
- 1 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
- ½ cup plain yogurt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about five minutes until frothy.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and salt to ensure even flavor distribution.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add yogurt and olive oil to the dry mixture. Slowly pour in the activated yeast mixture while stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about eight minutes until smooth and elastic. If it's too sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour.
- Let It Rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about one hour or until doubled in size.
- Roll Out & Cook: Once risen, divide the dough into smaller balls and roll each ball into circles about half an inch thick. Cook on a hot skillet or grill for about two minutes on each side until puffed up and golden brown.
- Serve Warm: Transfer your naan bread onto plates and serve warm with butter or alongside your favorite dishes.
