Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.
- Add the Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients.
- Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface.
- Gently knead the dough for 1-2 minutes until it forms a smooth ball.
- If the dough is too wet, dust it with a little extra flour.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.
- Working with one piece at a time, gently stretch and shape each piece into a thin rectangle about 1/4-inch thick and 5-6 inches long.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat for about 2 minutes until hot.
- Place one shaped piece of dough onto the dry pan.
- Cook for 3 minutes without moving it until bubbles form and the bottom has light golden-brown spots.
- Flip the naan and cook for another 2 minutes until the second side is also browned.
- Remove the naan from the pan.
- Repeat with the remaining dough pieces, cooking in batches.
- While the naan are still warm, melt the butter in a small bowl.
- Brush each cooked naan piece generously with melted butter on both sides.
- Sprinkle the garlic powder evenly over the buttered naan.
- Stack the finished naan on a clean kitchen towel or plate to keep warm.
Notes
Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best texture and flavor.
Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook naan in batches to maintain even heat.
Brush butter and garlic powder on immediately after cooking for maximum flavor absorption.
Keep cooked naan covered to stay soft and warm.
