Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Rolling Pin

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Create a well in the center and add the Greek yogurt. Use a spatula or your hands to mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a sprinkle of flour as needed to prevent sticking
  • Divide and Shape: Divide the dough into equal-sized portions and roll each portion into a smooth ball. This will ensure uniform cooking and consistent thickness in your naan.
  • Roll Out the Naan: Using a rolling pin, flatten each dough ball into a thin circle, approximately 1/4 inch thick. You can dust the dough lightly with flour to prevent sticking if necessary.
  • Preheat the Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. It's essential to allow the skillet to heat up adequately to ensure even cooking and achieve those coveted golden brown spots on the naan.
  • Cook the Naan: Once the skillet is hot, carefully transfer the rolled-out naan onto the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear. Use a spatula to flip the naan halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
  • Serve Warm: Remove the cooked naan from the skillet and serve warm. Enjoy your freshly baked naan along side your favorite Indian dishes or use it as a base for wraps, sandwiches, or pizzas.

Notes

  • Customize your naan by adding minced garlic, chopped herbs, or shredded cheese to the dough before cooking.
  • Store any leftover naan in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
