Nothing beats the smell of fresh bread baking in your own kitchen. This homemade naan recipe is straightforward and produces those beautiful charred bubbles we all love, making it a wonderful addition to your dinner table.

I really enjoy making this because it is so much more affordable and flavorful than store bought versions. It is a lovely way to turn a simple meal into something special for your family.

๐Ÿงบ Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons warm water
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter for brushing

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸณInstructions

  1. 1

    Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Add the yogurt and water to the dry ingredients, then stir until a shaggy dough forms.

  3. 3

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 3 minutes until smooth.

  4. 4

    Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each one into a flat circle.

  5. 5

    Heat a heavy skillet over medium high heat and cook each piece of dough for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown spots appear.

  6. 6

    Brush the warm naan with melted butter and serve immediately.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips

Keep the cooked naan wrapped in a clean kitchen towel to stay warm and soft until you are ready to eat. You can store leftovers in an airtight bag for up to two days and reheat them quickly in a dry pan or toaster.
