Bread Nan Ingredients

 4 cups all-purpose flour

 1 teaspoon active dry yeast

 1 teaspoon sugar

 1 teaspoon salt

 1 cup warm water

 ¼ cup plain yogurt

 2 tablespoons melted ghee or butter

 Additional ghee or butter for brushing (optional)

 Chopped garlic, nigella seeds, or chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)

Naan Instructions

1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 510 minutes until it becomes frothy.

2. Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour and salt together. Make a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture, yogurt, and melted ghee or butter. Mix until a soft dough forms.

3. Knead the dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 810 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with a dough .hook attachment.

4. Proof the dough: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 12 hours or until doubled in size.

5. Divide and shape the dough: Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down to release the air bubbles. Divide it into equal-sized portions and shape each portion into a smooth ball. Cover them with a damp towel and let them rest for an additional 1520 minutes.

6. Roll out the naan: Roll out each dough ball into an oval or round shape, about ¼ inch thick on .lightly floured surface.

7. Cook the naan: Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place the rolled-out naan onto the hot skillet and cook for about 12 minutes on each side until bubbles form and the bottom is golden brown. You can brush the top with ghee or butter and sprinkle with your choice of garnish .before flipping.

8. Serve warm: Once cooked, transfer the naan to a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep them warm and soft. Serve the Bread Naan alongside your favorite curries, and dips, or enjoy them on their own as a delicious snack.
