11 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup yogurt
  • 1/4 cup warm milk* (this may vary on the flour type)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp oil
  • Optional toppings-Minced garlic, chopped cilantro, chopped mint, or all of them
  • *Quantity of milk may slightly vary. So add half the milk first and add the rest as necessary.

Directions

  1. 1
    - Mix flour, baking soda, sugar and salt.
  2. 2
    - Make a well in the center of the flour. Add baking soda, sugar, salt, yogurt, milk and oil.
  3. 3
    - Mix well until the dough reaches a sticky consistency. The dough will be messy!
  4. 4
    - Slightly oil your hands, form the dough into a ball and let it rest for 30 minutes under a damp towel.
  5. 5
    - Once rested, the dough will be springy. Oil your hands and knead for 2-3 minutes before dividing into 6-8 balls.
  6. 6
    - Dust your hands with flour and flatten the dough into naans. Try to keep them under 1/4 inch thick. Don't fret about the shape.
  7. 7
    - Brush one side with water and place them on a non stick cookie sheet, with water side down.
  8. 8
    - Brush the other side also with water, add the desired toppings and put the naans in the oven for 2-3 minutes. If your oven heats up well, you may need only 1-2 minutes. Keep an eye until you get a hang of it.
  9. 9
    - Check the bottom and if you see brown spots, turn them over and bake for another minute.
  10. 10
    - Once out of the oven, rub them with a stick of butter and serve immediately.
  11. 11
    - If you are not serving immediately, you can reheat them in the microwave, brush with butter and serve.
