Naan

Naan is a soft and pillowy Indian flatbread, traditionally baked in a tandoor oven.

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water with sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add yeast mixture, yogurt, and melted butter. Knead until smooth and elastic.

Step 3

Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, until doubled in size.

Step 4

Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Divide dough into balls and roll out into rounds.

Step 5

Cook each naan on the skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side, until puffed and golden.

Step 6

Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cilantro if desired.
