This recipe sounds delicious! Here’s how you can make

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tbsp plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)
  • 1 tbsp active dry yeast

For the Garlic Butter:

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. Make the Dough:
    • In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
    • Add the yogurt, warm milk, and activated yeast mixture to the dry ingredients.
    • Mix everything together until a soft dough forms. Add olive oil (or melted butter) and knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. If needed, add a little more flour to keep it from sticking.
  3. Rest the Dough:
    • Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
  4. Divide the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 6-8 equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a flat, oval or round shape using a rolling pin.
  5. Cook the Naan:
    • Heat a skillet or tawa (griddle) over medium-high heat. Place one naan on the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form. Flip the naan and cook for another 1-2 minutes, pressing gently with a towel or spatula to encourage puffing.
    • You can also cover the skillet with a lid for a few seconds to allow the naan to puff up completely.
  6. Garlic Butter:
    • In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic.
    • Brush the hot naan with the garlic butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
  7. Serve: Stack the cooked naan on a plate, keeping them warm by covering with a towel. Serve immediately with your favorite curry or dip.
