INGREDIENTS

  • Dough

    • 💧 1 cup warm water
    • 2 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
    • 🧂 2 tablespoons sugar, or more to taste
    • 🥛 3 tablespoons milk
    • 🥚 1 egg, beaten
    • 🧂 2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
    • 🌾 5 ½ cups bread flour, or as needed
    • 🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced (Optional)
    • 🧈 ¼ cup butter, melted

STEPS

1

Combine water, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl. Let stand until bubbly and frothy.

2

Stir in milk, egg, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Place dough into a well-oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise until the dough has doubled in volume.

3

Punch down dough and knead well. For garlic naan, knead in garlic at this point.

4

Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of golf balls. Roll into balls, cover with a clean cloth, and allow to rise until doubled in size.

5

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

6

Roll out 2 balls of dough into elongated ovals. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and cook under the broiler until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Brush butter on both sides and flip. Continue broiling until the second side is firm and golden, 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining dough.
