Ingredients:

500g all-purpose flour
200g plain unsweetened yogurt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
Warm water (as needed)

Preparation method:

To prepare this naan bread, start by combining the flour, salt, active dry yeast, baking powder, and sugar in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add the plain yogurt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the yogurt. Slowly add warm water while kneading until you achieve a smooth and slightly sticky dough. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 10 minutes to activate the gluten. Once the dough is soft and elastic, shape it into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

After the dough has risen, gently deflate it by pressing it down with your hands. Divide it into equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Roll each ball out with a rolling pin to create discs or ovals about 5mm thick. Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each naan without adding any oil, for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until they puff up slightly and develop golden spots. Serve them warm, plain, or alongside your favorite dishes.
