Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Rolling Pin
- Non-stick Skillet or Pan
- Spatula
- Clean Kitchen Towel
Materials
- 1 Cup plain yogurt
- 2 Cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 1 Teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ Teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil (or any other oil you like)
Instructions
- Mixing the dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the yogurt and olive oil, then stir everything together. You should end up with a dough that’s soft but not too sticky. If it’s too sticky, just sprinkle a little more flour until you get the right consistency.
- Kneading: Once the dough is combined, knead it for about 2-3 minutes on a floured surface. It should be smooth and elastic. Let the dough rest for about 10 minutes. This helps the flavors meld and makes it easier to roll out.
- Shaping the naan: Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball out into a flat round shape with a rolling pin. You can make them as thick or thin as you like—just keep in mind that thinner dough will cook faster.
- Cooking the naan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil to prevent sticking. Place the rolled dough onto the pan and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear.
