Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup warm water

1 teaspoon instant yeast

1 teaspoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons melted salted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

2. Add the Greek yogurt and warm water. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.

3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5 to 7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

5. Punch down the dough and divide into 6 to 8 equal pieces.

6. Roll each piece into an oval or tear-drop shape, about 1/4-inch thick.

7. Heat a dry cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.

8. Place rolled dough into the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until bubbles form and underside is golden.

9. Flip and cook another 1 to 2 minutes until fully cooked.

10. Brush warm naan with melted butter and keep wrapped in a clean towel to stay soft.

Notes

Use a cast iron skillet for best results and proper charring.

Let the dough rise fully before shaping for maximum fluff.

Always brush the naan with butter immediately after cooking for flavor and softness.
