Easy Garlic Naan Bread

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour (all-purpose flour plus more for dusting, gluten-free flour can be used)
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup plain yogurt
• 1/4 cup milk (warm)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons cilantro (fresh, chopped)
• 2 tablespoons butter (melted)

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine yeast and flour.: Combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.

2. 2

   Add milk and yoghurt: Add the yogurt, milk, and garlic to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

3. 3

   Dust surface: Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough for 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

4. 4

   Rest the dough: Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen cloth. Place in a warm place and let the dough rest for 1-2 hours, until it has doubled in size.

5. 5

   Divide dough: Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized pieces and roll into balls.

6. 6

   Roll the dough: Roll each ball of dough into a circle or oval that is about ⅛ inch thick on a lightly floured surface using a rolling pin. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.

7. 7

   Cook the naan.: Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and grease with some oil. Place one naan in the hot skillet and cook until bubbles form on top, about 1-2 minutes. Brush the top with a little bit of oil. Flip and cook for 1-2 more minutes on the other side, until nice golden spots form on the bottom.

8. 8

   Rest naan bread: Remove the cooked naan from the skillet and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel while you are cooking the rest of them.

9. 9

   Brush with butter: Brush with some melted butter and sprinkle some freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
