Instructions
For the Naan
Warm water and milk to 110°F/43⁰C. Sprinkle yeast and sugar on top of the liquid and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes or until the mixture begins to form bubbles,
In bowl of Deluxe Stand Mixer, combine mixture with the yogurt, oil, flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until the dough comes together with your hands,
Set Deluxe Stand Mixer to KNEAD for three minutes, up to five minutes until dough has formed a ball. Alternatively, you can knead by hand,
Lightly brush the mixing bowl with a small bit of oil,
Place dough back into to the bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel, allow dough to rest at room temperature for about an hour, until doubled in size.
Use a Bench Scraper to cut the dough into 10 equal pieces (approximately 3.6 ounces each). Roll into balls, then use a Rolling Pin to roll each piece of dough into a large oval, about 6-inches long and 1/8-inch thick. Repeat with remaining dough.
Add ½ teaspoon of oil to 8"(20-cm) Signature Nonstick Fry Pan or 10”Cast Iron Skillet over medium-high heat.
Place one piece of the dough into the pan, cooking until bubbles form on top, about 1-2minutes. While cooking, brush the top with a little oil.
Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until large golden spots appear on the bottom.
Remove from the skillet and keep warm in oven on the lowest temperature, until all are cooked.
For the Garlic Butter
Add pressed garlic to butter in Silicone Prep Bowl; microwave 30 seconds or until melted,
To Serve
Brush naan with garlic butter and top with cilantro or parsley if desired.
Notes
You can substitute any herb you prefer to top your naan.
