Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Garlic Butter
  • 4 tablespoons butter to be melted
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.
  2. Gradually add water and oil to form a soft dough. Knead for a few minutes until smooth.
  3. Let the dough rest for about 30 minutes.
  4. Divide the dough into small balls and roll each into a thin round shape.
Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook each naan for 1-2 minutes on each side, until puffed and golden.
  2. In a small pan, melt butter and stir in the minced garlic.
  3. Brush the garlic butter over the warm naans before serving.

Notes

Don’t skip toasting the garlic — it makes all the difference! Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the fridge. For longer storage, freeze for up to 2 months.
