  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 tsp dried parsley (or 4 tsp finely chopped fresh parsley)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the yeast mixture by combining yeast and warm water in a bowl; let it sit until frothy (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, yeast mixture, yogurt, and melted butter; mix until combined.

  5. Divide the dough into six balls and roll each into an elongated teardrop shape.
  6. Preheat your oven to its lowest setting to keep cooked naan warm.
  7. Heat a non-stick frying pan over high heat; cook one naan for about three minutes on each side until puffed and golden.

  9. Keep cooked naan warm under foil while repeating with remaining dough.
