Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 package (0.25 oz) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water (110°F)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons oil or ghee
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for topping)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
- Mix in flour, salt, yogurt, and oil to form a dough. Knead on a floured surface for about 5–7 minutes until smooth.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into eight equal pieces. Roll each piece into an oval shape.

- Brush each naan with melted butter mixed with minced garlic before serving.
