Naan bread is a traditional bread from India and the surrounding region. It is typically made with flour, water, yeast, and salt, and often includes other ingredients like yogurt, eggs, or garlic. Naan bread can be enjoyed alongside a variety of dishes, including curries, stews, and dips. This recipe yields soft and chewy bread that can be customized to include more or less garlic depending on your tastes. Enjoy this naan bread fresh and warm, brushed with melted butter for an extra touch of richness.

Instructions

1.In a small bowl, mix together the active dry yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes to activate the yeast.
2.In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups of the flour and salt.
3.Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the yeast mixture, vegetable oil, plain yogurt, egg, and minced garlic (if using).
4.Stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour in 1/4 cup increments until the dough is smooth and elastic.
5.Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
6.Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rest in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
7.Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Divide the dough into 8-10 small balls and roll each ball into a round shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
8.Place the dough rounds on the hot skillet or griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned and slightly charred.
9.Brush the naan bread with melted butter (if using) and serve immediately.
