Absolutely! Craving delicious, fluffy naan but don’t want to order takeout? You can make it right at home! This recipe requires simple ingredients and delivers restaurant-quality flatbread in under 2 hours.
Here’s how to make naan at home: Combine dry ingredients (flour, yeast, salt) in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk together yogurt, olive oil, and warm water. Combine both mixtures and knead into a dough. Let the dough rise for 1-2 hours. Divide, shape, and roll out the dough. Cook the naan in a hot skillet until golden brown and puffed. Brush with melted butter and enjoy!
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, and warm water. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. You may need to add a bit more flour if the dough is too sticky.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Divide the dough into 6-8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball, then roll them out into oval shapes about 1/4 inch thick.
Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place a naan dough in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed.
Brush the cooked naan with melted butter (optional) and sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs, like cilantro or parsley. Serve immediately.
