Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
Wet Ingredient
- 7/8 cup Greek yogurt (preferably full-fat)
- Olive oil, for cooking
- Optional: melted butter or additional olive oil for brushing
- Optional: fresh herbs or garlic for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and sea salt until evenly combined. This ensures an even distribution of leavening and flavor throughout the dough.
- Incorporate the Greek Yogurt: Add the Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients. Using clean hands or a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, knead the mixture until it forms a thick, cohesive dough. The dough might appear crumbly at first, but continue kneading for 2–3 minutes until it comes together smoothly.
- Preheat the Pan: Place a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat and lightly coat it with olive oil. Allow the pan to heat while you shape the naan dough to ensure an even cooking surface.
- Divide and Shape the Dough: Lightly flour a clean countertop or work surface. Transfer the dough onto it and divide into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a round shape approximately 7 inches in diameter.
- Cook the Naan: Place one rolled piece of dough in the hot skillet. Cook for 1–2 minutes on each side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the underside develops golden brown spots. Flip carefully and cook the other side. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning. Repeat with all remaining pieces, adding more oil to the skillet if necessary.
- Serve: Serve the naan warm, brushed with melted butter or olive oil. Garnish optionally with fresh herbs or garlic to enhance the flavor. Enjoy as a side or use as a base for wraps and sandwiches.
Notes
- Greek yogurt adds moisture and tang to the bread, so use full-fat for best results.
- Baking powder replaces yeast to speed up the cooking process—no rising time needed.
- Cook on medium-low heat to ensure the naan cooks through without burning.
- This dough can be stored in the refrigerator for 1 day; bring to room temperature before cooking.
- For garlic naan, brush cooked naan with melted butter mixed with minced garlic and chopped herbs.
- Use a cast iron skillet for best heat retention and even cooking; a nonstick pan can also work.
