How to make the best garlic naan

Ingredients

For the Naan

• ¼ cup - Warm water
• 2 tbsp - Granulated sugar
• 1 ½ tbsp - Active dry yeast or instant (rapid rise) yeast
• ¾ cup - Warm milk
• ¾ cup - Natural plain yogurt
• ¼ cup - Vegetable oil plus 2 tbsp extra for cooking
• 2 cloves - Garlic, minced
• 4 cups - Plain flour plus extra for dusting (560gm)
• 1 tbsp - Baking powder
• 1 tbsp - Salt

For the Garlic butter topping

• 3 tbsp - Butter, melted
• 2 cloves - Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh chopped cilantro or parsley

Method of preparation

For the garlic naan

1. Mix the water, sugar, and yeast. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes or until the mixture begins to bubble up.
2. Add the milk, yogurt, oil, minced garlic, baking powder, and salt. Mix until the dough comes off along with your hands.
3. Knead and turn this dough on a lightly floured surface. Use floured hands to knead the dough until smooth, for about 3 to 5 minutes.
4. Lightly grease the mixing bowl with a small spray of cooking oil. Transfer the dough to a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it rest at room temperature for an hour until it doubles in size.
5. When you’re ready to make your garlic naans, divide the dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into balls. Then use a rolling pin to roll each ball of dough into a large oval, about 6 inches long and 1/8 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining pieces.
6. Heat your stove/skillet on medium-high heat. Grease the skillet all over with ½ teaspoon oil.
7. Place naan on the well-oiled hot skillet and cook until bubbles form on top, about 1-2 minutes. When cooking, brush the top of the naan with some oil.
8. Flip and cook the naan for another 1-2 minutes until large golden spots appear on the bottom.
9. Remove from the stove and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel. 
10. Repeat with the remaining naan (keep them wrapped in a towel while you work). 

For the garlic butter topping

1. Melt butter and combine it with minced garlic in a bowl. 
2. Brush each naan with garlic butter
3. Top with the fresh herb of your choosing. 

Well, that’s it! Your garlic naans are ready. Serve these delicious hot Garlic Butter Naans with Chicken/Paneer Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, or Coconut Curry Shrimp.
