Recipe type: Bread
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups warm milk
  • ½ tsp yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3½-4 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 4-5 tbsp melted butter
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • salt (optional)
Instructions
  1. Whisk the warm milk, sugar, and yeast together in the stand mixer with the dough hook. Let stand 3-5 minutes.
  2. Next, add the salt and 3½ cups flour to milk mixture. Mix for 3-5 minutes or about 8-10 minutes if mixing by hand. Sprinkle additional flour as needed to keep dough from sticking to the sides. Do not exceed 4¼ cups flour.
  3. Cover and allow to rise for 2 hours, or do the quick-oven-rising method as described above in Step 3.
  4. Punch the dough down and divide into 12 equal pieces and form them into balls.
  5. Cover the dough balls with plastic wrap or a clean dish towel, and let them rest for 30 minutes.
  6. Next, place the baking stone(s) in the oven and preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
  7. Roll out dough balls to desired thickness with a rolling pin (about the size of a small tortilla).
  8. Bake the rolled-out dough on the stone for 2-4 minutes.
  9. Stack the cooked Naan on top of each other and brush each side with melted butter. (If you desire, you can add ¼ tsp garlic powder and a couple shakes of salt to your melted butter.)
  10. Enjoy!
