Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • ½ cup warm water
  • 2 teaspoons dry active yeast
  • 1 teaspoon granulated white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup plain yogurt - I used plain greek yogurt
  • 1 extra large egg
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 - 2/12 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
  1. Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl than it let sit for 5 - 10 minutes or until foamy. Add , yogurt, egg, salt and 2 cups of of the flour. Stir with a wooden spoon until smooth.
  2. Add extra flour to make a soft dough. Knead a few times on a lightly floured board until the dough becomes nice and smooth.
  3. Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled. I have a proof setting in my oven so I just popped it in there for one hour.
  4. Preheat a skillet to medium high heat (I used a non-stick cast iron 10 inch skillet)
  5. Cut the dough into eight pieces then roll out each piece on a floured surface into a 6 inch circle or oval shape.
  6. Brush each side of the dough with oil or melted butter then place into skillet to cook for 2 minutes on each side or until bubbly and golden brown.
  7. Brush the top of each naan with additional melted butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired. You can also make garlic naan by adding minced garlic to the butter and then brush it on for flavour.
