Naan/ Garlic Butter Naan

Prepare Dough

In a bowl, mix:

• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 package dry active yeast

Let yeast mixture sit for 15 minutes to see if its activated. If OK, proceed by adding:

• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon ghee (or melted butter.. OR garlic butter)

Mix everything together and let it sit for 1-2 hours

Naan Preparation

Once doubled in size, cut dough in 6 portions. 

Round each portion, dust with flour and let proof for another 15-30 minutes.

Roll out each dough ball into naan shapes.

Once rolled out, add a few coriander leaves on top & roll out to imbed into the naan.

Cooking:

Bake method:

• if baking, turn oven on hottest setting (mine goes to 500 degrees) and heat dry cast iron in the oven
• Once Cast iron is heated, add rolled out naan and cook a few minutes each side

Stovetop method:

• Heat a dry cast iron until its very hot 
• Cook naan 2 to 3 minutes per side

Once each naan is cooked, remove and add garlic butter on top. Skip this step if you want regular naan

• Sometimes I use store bought garlic butter - melted & brushed onto the naan

For homemade Garlic Butter:

In a small pan, add:

• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 cloves finely minced garlic

Cook until butter is melted and garlic is heated through
