Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons plain yogurt

3 tablespoons melted butter or ghee

1/4 cup warm water, plus more as needed

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F . Grease a baking sheet with butter or ghee. In a large bowl, mix together the warm water, melted butter or ghee, yogurt, salt, baking soda, baking powder and sugar until combined. Gradually add in the flour and mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add more warm water 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. Knead for 5 minutes on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into an oval shape about 1/4 inch thick. Place naan onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and puffy. Serve warm with your favorite curry dish!.
