Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp yeast (dry )
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp ghee or melted butter
  • 2 tbsp yoghurt
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Directions:

  1. Mix water with the yeast and sugar until the yeast is dissolves.
  2. Sift flour and salt together into a bowl and add the yeast mixture, half of the ghee and the yogurt. Mix to forma soft dough, then knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic.
  3. Place the dough in a large greased bowl, cover and let stand in a warm place for 1 hour or until the dough doubles in size.
  4. Punch down the dough and knead for 5 minutes. Divide dough into lemon sized balls
  5. Flatten the dough using a rolling pin, or by hand (I prefer the second method, for the very rustic look it provides).
  6. Top with sesame seeds or any other topping of your choice.
  7. Brush grill pan with oil, wipe it with a piece of cloth.
  8. Grill Naan over a medium heat until unevenly browned, brushing with ghee before turning.
  9. Brown unevenly on second side, remove from heat and serve warm.
  10. I add minced garlic to my dough (I've added garlic powder in a pinch) to make garlic naan.
