Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons yogurt
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Rolling pin
  • Skillet or griddle
  • Kitchen towel
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
  2. Add the yogurt and warm water to the dry mixture. Stir until a rough dough forms.
  3. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes.
  4. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  5. While the dough rests, heat your skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Divide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Place the naan in the hot skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side.
  8. Once cooked, remove the naan from the skillet and brush with melted butter.
