Ingredients

• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Sugar
• 150 milliliters Warm water
• 60 grams Plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 50 grams Sultanas (golden raisins)
• 50 grams Desiccated coconut
• 50 grams Dried apricots, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Ghee or butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar. Stir well to mix the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Add the warm water, plain yogurt, and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until it forms a soft dough.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough back into the mixing bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Meanwhile, prepare the filling by mixing together the sultanas, desiccated coconut, and finely chopped dried apricots in a bowl.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.

Step 7

Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten slightly with your hands.

Step 8

Take one portion and gently roll or stretch it into a rough oval shape about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 9

Place a quarter of the filling mixture in the center of the flattened dough. Fold the edges over the filling, pinching to seal it completely.

Step 10

Gently roll or press the filled dough piece again to about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 11

Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

Step 12

Place the naan onto the heated skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side or until bubbles form and it starts to brown.

Step 13

Flip the naan and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes.

Step 14

While it's hot, brush each side with melted ghee or butter.

Step 15

Repeat the process with the remaining dough portions.

Step 16

Serve warm with your favorite curry or enjoy on its own.
