¼cupunsalted buttermelted + additional melted butter, to serve (optional)
Instructions
Gently stir the yeast, warm water, and honey together in a bowl and let sit for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy.
Add both of the flours, salt, warm milk, Greek yogurt, baking powder, and baking soda to the yeast mixture.
Knead the dough in a stand mixer fitted with a kneading attachment or knead by hand for 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is elastic and stretches easily.
Return the dough to a mixing bowl sprayed with non-stick spray or leave the dough in the mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with a thick towel or plastic wrap and dough and let it proof (or rise) in a warm area for 1- ½ hours, or until doubled in size.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and cut it into 8 even pieces.
Roll each ball of dough out into a roughly oblong or oval shape about ⅛-inch thick.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until water sizzles when flicked on it. Brush the skillet with melted butter. Working quickly, place 1 naan on the skillet. Brush the top of the naan with more butter.
Cook the naan for 3-5 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until both sides of the naan are golden brown and the bread is cooked through. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
Brush the cooked naan with additional melted butter, if desired, and serve hot!
Notes
1. Storage directions:
Refrigeration: store leftover naan covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Freezing: freeze naan in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
2. Bread warming: keep the bread warm until serving by storing it in an oven preheated to 170 degrees Fahrenheit. 3. How to make garlic naan bread:
Saute 3-4 cloves sliced garlic in 3 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat for 1.5-3 minutes, or until the garlic just starts to turn golden brown.
Brush the garlic butter over the bread before serving
