Garlic Butter Naan
Soft, fluffy, delicious naan covered in a simple garlic butter.
Ingredients
Naan
- 1 c warm water
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 2 tsp sugar
- 4.5 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 c 5% greek yogurt
- 8 oz mozzarella (optional – for stuffing)
Garlic Butter
- 4 tbsp salted butter
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (or to taste)
- fresh parsely (to taste)
Instructions
- Warm your water in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Add your sugar and packet of yeast, and mix well. Set aside for about 10 minutes until the yeast mixture looks frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine your flour, yeast mixture, salt, olive oil, baking soda and yogurt.
- Sprinkle some flour over your work surface where you will be spreading out your dough. Knead it well for about 10 minutes. Lightly sprinkle dough as needed if the mixture starts to get sticky during the kneading process.
- Put your dough back in your mixing bowl , and cover your bowl with a kitchen towel and let it rise for 1-2 hours.
- Divide the dough into 4 large pieces.
- Sprinkle some flour over your work surface where you will be spreading out your dough. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a large oval shape. I like to keep the dough somewhat thick, so I don't roll it out too much. (Keep in mind, it won't rise too much, it will just begin to bubble at the surface once you heat it).
- Coat the surface of your skillet evenly with a little bit of oil. Heat your skillet to medium high. Add your naan to the skillet and let it sit until some bubble start to appear on the surface. This could take about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the naan over and cook for another minute or so.
- Melt your butter in the microwave in 15-20 second intervals. Add your garlic powder and parsley and mix well.
- Baste your naan with your garlic butter and serve.
