Servings 8 naan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups flour + more as needed for dusting
  • 1 packet instant rise yeast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 8 oz plain Greek yogurt
  • ¾ cup warm water 110°F
  • 2 tablespoons ghee melted

Instructions
 

  • Combine the yeast and warm water then let sit for about 10 minutes, or until the top of the water is frothy.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar.
  • Mix together the olive oil and yogurt with the flour mixture until a crumbly dough forms.
  • Add the yeast and water mixture to the dough and knead until a firm dough comes together.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap and a dark towel. Place the bowl in a warm place for 3-4 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
  • Preheat the pizza stone on the top shelf of the oven under the broiler on high for 30 minutes.
  • Dust a working surface with flour. Place the sticky risen dough onto the surface and knead until a ball forms. Let it rest for another 30 minutes before punching down and splitting the dough into 8 equal-sized balls.
  • Roll out each dough ball on a floured surface, then place them onto the pizza stone under the broiler.
  • Keep a close eye on the naan for 3-4 minutes, or until the naan is bubbly and golden brown on top.
  • Remove the naan from the oven and brush with melted ghee. Serve right away with a side of chicken biryani and momos. Enjoy!
