Pillowy, chewy, and blistered with golden-brown bubbles, this homemade garlic naan rivals any tandoor-baked version. A yogurt-enriched dough yields incredibly soft bread, and a generous brush of garlic-herb butter while still hot from the pan makes each piece absolutely irresistible.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

+ 8 more ingredients

Instructions

1

In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center.

2

Add the yogurt, oil, and warm water. Mix with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms, then turn out onto a floured surface.

3

Knead the dough for 6-8 minutes until smooth, soft, and slightly tacky to the touch. It should spring back when poked. Add flour sparingly only if the dough is sticking badly.

4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.

5

While the dough rises, prepare the garlic butter by mixing the melted butter with the minced garlic and half the chopped cilantro. Set aside.

6

Punch down the risen dough and divide into 8 equal portions. Roll each into a smooth ball.

7

On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into an oval or teardrop shape about 1/4 inch thick. Do not worry about perfect shapes; rustic is beautiful.

8

Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy pan over high heat until it is very hot (a drop of water should instantly sizzle and evaporate).

9

Place one naan on the dry, ungreased skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until large bubbles form on the surface and the bottom develops charred spots. Flip and cook the other side for another 1 minute.

10

Immediately brush the hot naan generously with garlic butter, sprinkle with cilantro and nigella seeds. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with remaining dough balls.
