Naan bread is a soft, pillowy Indian flatbread that’s easy to make at home, perfect for pairing with your favorite dishes or enjoying on its own.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • ¾ cup warm water (about 110°F)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Stir in flour and salt until combined.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise for about an hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Once risen, punch down the dough and divide into equal portions. Roll each portion into circles about ¼ inch thick.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook each naan for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown spots appear.

Notes

  • For added flavor, mix minced garlic or herbs into the dough before cooking.
  •  Store leftover naan in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days; reheat on low heat in a skillet.
