Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Add yogurt and warm water gradually and knead into a soft, smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for about 1 hour until it doubles in size. (Time: 1 hour)
Step 2: Divide the Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small equal-sized balls. Roll them into smooth balls and set them aside. (Time: 5 minutes)
Step 3: Roll the Naan
Take one dough ball, flatten it with your fingers, and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into an oval or round shape. Roll it evenly, making sure it's not too thin or too thick. (Time: 5-7 minutes per naan)
Step 4: Heat the Pan
Preheat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Make sure it’s hot before cooking the Naan. (Time: 3-5 minutes)
Step 5: Cook the Naan
Place the rolled-out Naan onto the hot pan. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, until bubbles start to form. Flip the Naan and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown spots appear. (Time: 2-4 minutes)
Step 6: Brush with Butter
Once the Naan is cooked, remove it from the pan and brush with melted butter or ghee for added flavor. (Time: 1 minute)
Step 7: Serve Hot
Serve the freshly made Naan immediately with your favorite curry, dip, or as a side dish. Enjoy your warm, fluffy Naan! (Time: Instant)
