Ingredients

The Dough

  • 2 cup whole wheat flour (260 g)
  • 2 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon honey (15 g)
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (60 g), room temperature
  • ½ cup warm water (125 ml)

The Topping

  • 4 tablespoon butter (60 g), melted
  • 4 garlic cloves , minced
  • 2 tablespoon minced coriander leaves

Instructions

The Dough

  • Add all ingredients into the bowl of a standing mixer with a dough hook, mix everything well and then knead for 5 minutes.
  • Form dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl. Cover tightly with a cling film and leave for the dough to rise double its size.

The Topping

  • Mix everything in a bowl, set aside.

Assemble & Cook

  • Heat an 10.24 inch (26 cm) iron cast pan on medium heat. Prepare a tray to place cooked naan and a kitchen cloth to cover them.
  • Divide dough into 6 equal pieces and form them into balls. Cover with cling film when not using to prevent them getting dry. Once the pan is smoking and screaming hot, take 1 ball and roll into 2-3mm thin oval. Use a bit of flour to prevent it from sticking.
  • Place dough on the pan. Bubbles will immediately start to form and once they stopped growing, flip naan using a spatula. Cook for a few more seconds and place it on a tray.
  • Brush with the topping on both sides and cover with kitchen cloth to keep it warm. Continue with another ball, keeping the pan on the heat the whole time as you go. Serve hot/warm with some curries, enjoy!

How To Store

  • They're best consumed fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container, in the fridge up to 5 days. Freeze up to 2-3 months, in ziploc bag.
  • Thaw (if needed) and reheat for a few seconds in the microwave and they'll become soft and fluffy again.

Notes

  • Use spoon and level method when measuring the flour  (for cup measurement)
  • Refer to my post above for ingredients notes and tips
