Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 0.5 cup warm water
• 0.5 cup plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 clove minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes or until it becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Add the yogurt, olive oil, and the foamy yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until a rough dough begins to form.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and divide it into 12 equal portions.

Step 7

Roll each portion into a small ball, then flatten each ball into an oval or round shape about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 8

Preheat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Brush the surface with a bit of olive oil.

Step 9

Place the naan dippers on the hot skillet, cooking each for about 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form and the bottom begins to brown.

Step 10

Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes or until the naan is cooked through and has golden-brown spots.

Step 11

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic.

Step 12

Brush each cooked naan dipper with the garlic butter mixture and sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired.

Step 13

Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauces or as an accompaniment to soups and stews.
