Description
A delicious recipe for making rustic garlic naan with a flavorful garlic butter topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 300g (2 cups) self-raising flour (or use all-purpose flour and add 2 teaspoons baking powder)
- 280g (1 cup + 2 tablespoons) Greek or thick Greek-style yogurt
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 150g (5oz) butter
- 2 teaspoons flaky sea salt
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- A handful of flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
Instructions
- Add the self-raising flour (or all-purpose flour with baking powder), Greek yogurt, and salt to a large bowl. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix together until large, floury lumps start to form. Go in with your hands to mash up any lumps of yogurt and mix it in with the flour, until a cohesive dough forms. This will take a couple of minutes. Set aside and cover the bowl with a clean dish (tea) towel.
- Add the butter, crushed garlic cloves, flaky salt, and chopped parsley leaves to a small bowl. Mix well with a spoon until there are no more streaks of plain butter. If your butter is hard, pop the bowl in the microwave for 15 seconds to soften it up. Set the bowl aside.
- Lightly flour a clean, flat surface and transfer the dough onto it. Divide it into 6 roughly equal pieces (you can use a scale for precision). Using as much flour as needed, roll the pieces out into rough circles, about 8″/20cm in diameter. Don’t worry if they’re not perfect circles.
- Set a pan over medium heat, then add a naan. Cook for a couple of minutes on each side until it starts to puff up slightly and air bubbles appear, with lovely brown spots on both sides.
- Transfer the cooked naan to a wooden board or plate, then top with 1 teaspoon of the garlic butter and smooth it over the bread with the back of a spoon. Cover with a clean dish (tea) towel to keep the naan soft while you cook the rest.
Notes
- This naan can be served warm along with a side of curry or enjoyed as a standalone bread.
- For additional flavor, you can add herbs or spices to the dough before cooking.
