Easy Homemade Naan

I sincerely struggle when it comes to lunch items. I never eat leftovers (that’s all my husband) because I hate eating the same thing every day…. I tend to get bored easily. I love smoothies and sandwiches but then again, same thing different day. I was desperate to try something new in my household. Luckily, my husband had one of those random cravings and this time, it was naan.

Naan is honestly so versatile. You can make breakfast pizza with it, dip it into hummus for lunch, and then eat it with a good sauce for dinner! So, I guess what I am saying…. I LOVE NAAN!! And yes, I had an amazing lunch today.

Ingredients

1/4 C hot water
1 Tbsp Agave (or honey)
3/4 tsp active dry yeast
3/4 C warm milk (I used almond milk)
1 C plain greek yogurt
4 C all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
melted butter and minced garlic, mixed together, for brushing

DIRECTIONS

In a medium size mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine hot water, agave (honey), and yeast and give it a quick stir. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow mixture to froth.
Once yeast is foamy, add the milk, yogurt, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using the dough attachment, mix the dough on medium-low speed for 3 minutes until smooth. The dough will be sticky but should form a soft ball.
Transfer dough ball to a lightly greased mixing bowl, cover with towel, and place in a warm place for 1 hour to double in size.
Melt 4 Tbsp of butter and mix in 2 minced garlic cloves. Once ready, divide dough into 8 equal balls. Using a rolling pin, roll a piece of dough into an oval shape, about 1/4-inch thick. Brush top side of rolled dough with melted butter.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. And brushed side down on pan and brush the other side while cooking. Let cook for 1 minute, or until the top of the dough begins to bubble. Flip the dough and cook on the other side for another minute or two until golden brown.
Transfer to a plate and repeat with additional dough pieces!
