What You Need to Make Butter Naan (Authentic Indian Flatbread)

Ingredients

  • ½ cup lukewarm milk (substitute with plant-based milk if VG/DF)
  • 2 teaspoon active dry yeast ( I use this one )
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

How to Make Butter Naan (Authentic Indian Flatbread)

  1. Activate the yeast by soaking it in lukewarm milk for 10-15 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add the flour, salt, sugar, activated yeast mixture, yogurt, and oil. Knead the dough until the surface becomes smooth. If needed, add more milk.
  3. Cover the dough with a cloth and bring it to rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until the dough doubles in size.
  4. Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each part into 8” circles, then lightly brush both sides with melted butter.
  5. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Place the rolled dough into the skillet. When small bubbles appear on the top, flip the naan over and cook the other side. When done, flip it again and brush with some more butter.
  6. Repeat step 5 with the remaining dough. Serve immediately while warm. ENJOY!

    I love naan but never thought I could make it myself. I was wrong! Your recipe was so simple to follow and we ate these right after they were done, so warm, buttery, and perfect!
