Ingredients

300 g plain flour
1 tsp instant yeast
1 tsp sugar
0.5 tsp salt
120 g plain yogurt
80 ml warm water
2 tbsp melted butter
2 garlic cloves

Method

1
In a bowl, mix the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add the yogurt, warm water, and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Stir, then knead into a soft, slightly sticky dough, about 5 minutes.
2
Cover and leave somewhere warm until puffy and roughly doubled, about 1 hour.
3
Divide the dough into 6 pieces. On a floured surface, roll each into an oval or teardrop about 0.5cm thick.
4
Heat a heavy skillet (cast iron is best) over medium-high until very hot. Place a naan in the dry pan.
