Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons Melted butter
• 1 tablespoon Optional minced garlic or chopped herbs (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Add the ingredients to your bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, this means adding the wet ingredients (warm water, Greek yogurt, and olive oil) first, followed by the dry ingredients (sugar, salt, flour), and finally the yeast on top.

Step 2

Set the bread machine to the 'Dough' cycle and start it. This will mix, knead, and allow the dough to rise. The cycle usually takes about 1 to 1.5 hours.

Step 3

Once the dough cycle is complete, transfer the dough to a floured surface. Divide it into 6 equal portions and shape each into a smooth ball. Let them rest for 10 minutes under a clean kitchen towel.

Step 4

Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. While the pan heats, roll out one ball of dough into a thin oval or circular shape, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 5

Place the rolled-out dough onto the hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the underside is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the naan from the skillet and brush it with melted butter. If desired, sprinkle with minced garlic or chopped herbs for added flavor.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls. Serve warm and enjoy!
