Ingredients
🍽️ Servings: 8 • 🔥 Calories/Serving: 250
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp instant yeast
1 tsp salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
3/4 cup warm water
2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for brushing
1 tbsp butter (optional), melted, for brushing
Steps
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
Step 2
Stir in minced garlic, cilantro, and parsley.
Step 3
Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Step 4
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth.
Step 5
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Step 6
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each into a ball and then flatten to form an oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 7
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook each naan for about 2 minutes on each side, until puffed and golden brown.
Step 8
Brush each naan with butter or olive oil, and serve warm.
Make it your own!
Add Seeds: Sprinkle sesame or nigella seeds on the naan before cooking for an extra crunch.
Spicy Touch: Mix in some finely chopped green chilies to the dough for a spicy kick.
