There is nothing quite like the smell of fresh bread baking in your own kitchen. This naan recipe is a favorite because it comes together quickly and tastes so much better than anything you can buy in a store package.

You can serve this warm with butter and garlic or use it to scoop up your favorite curries and stews. It is a simple recipe that feels special every time you make it.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Stir in the yogurt, water, and oil until a soft dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it is smooth.

  4. 4

    Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each one into a flat circle.

  5. 5

    Heat a skillet over medium high heat with a tiny bit of oil.

  6. 6

    Cook each piece of dough for 2 minutes per side until golden brown and bubbly.

💡 Tips

Serve these warm with a brush of melted butter and chopped cilantro. If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight bag and toast them briefly in the oven or a dry pan to bring back the soft texture.
