Buttery Garlic Naan Bread 🍞🧄


  • Author: Dulcia

Ingredients

Scale

Naan Breads:

¼ cup warm water 💧
2 teaspoons granulated sugar 🍬
1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast or instant, rapid rise 🍞
¾ cup warm milk 🥛
¾ cup Greek yogurt or natural plain yogurt 🥄
¼ cup vegetable oil, plus 2 tablespoons extra for cooking 🛢️
2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
4 cups plain flour, plus extra for dusting 🌾
1 teaspoon baking powder 🥄
1 teaspoon salt 🧂
Garlic Butter Topping:

3 tablespoons butter, melted 🧈
2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
1 teaspoon fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped 🌿


Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Yeast Mixture:

Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture bubbles on top. 🥣
2️⃣ Mix the Dough:

Add milk, yogurt, oil, minced garlic, flour, baking powder, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until the dough comes together. 🥛🍶
3️⃣ Knead the Dough:

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead with floured hands until smooth, about 3-5 minutes. 👩‍🍳
4️⃣ Let the Dough Rise:

Lightly grease the mixing bowl with a small spray of cooking oil. Transfer the dough back to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest at room temperature for about an hour until doubled in size. ⏳
5️⃣ Divide and Roll the Dough:

When ready to cook, divide the dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll into balls, then use a rolling pin to flatten each piece into a large oval, about 6 inches long and ⅛ inch thick. Repeat with remaining dough. 👩‍🍳
6️⃣ Cook the Naan:

Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Grease the skillet with ½ teaspoon of extra oil.
Place one piece of naan on the oiled hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on top, about 1-2 minutes. Brush the top with a little oil while cooking.
Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until large golden spots appear on the bottom.
Remove from the skillet and wrap in a clean kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining naan, keeping them wrapped in the towel while you work. 🔥
7️⃣ Prepare the Garlic Butter:

Combine melted butter and minced garlic in a bowl. Brush each naan with the garlic butter and top with fresh cilantro or parsley. 🧈🧄🌿
Enjoy your delicious, homemade buttery garlic naan bread! 🥰
