Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients

  • 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
  • 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Warm milk
  • 2 tablespoons Plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

For Brushing

  • 2 tablespoons Melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro, chopped optional

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, yogurt, and vegetable oil.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  • Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into an oval shape, about 8-10 inches long and 0.25 inches thick.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet or a griddle over medium-high heat. Cook the naan for 2-3 minutes per side, or until puffed up and golden brown spots appear.
  • While the naan is still hot, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped cilantro, if desired.

Notes

Naan is best served warm, immediately after cooking.
