This recipe creates soft and fluffy garlic naan bread, perfect for pairing with your favorite curries or dips.
Combine the flour, salt, baking powder, yeast, and sugar in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the yeast is evenly distributed for consistent rising.
Add the warm milk, yogurt, egg, and minced garlic to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Warm milk helps activate the yeast, speeding up the rising process.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
Kneading develops gluten, which gives the naan its structure.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with cling film, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
A warm environment speeds up the fermentation process.
Preheat the oven to its highest setting and place a baking tray inside to heat.
A hot tray ensures the naan cooks evenly and quickly.
Divide the dough into 9 equal portions and roll each into a tear-shaped flatbread.
Keep the portions you're not working on covered to prevent drying out.
Place the naan on the hot baking tray and bake for 2-3 minutes until puffed and golden.
Watch closely to avoid overcooking.
Flip the naan and bake for another 1-2 minutes until the other side is golden.
Flipping ensures even cooking on both sides.
Brush the hot naan with melted butter and serve immediately.
Serve naan warm for the best texture and flavor.
