Servings: 6 naan

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp. Instant Yeast
  • 1/2 cup Warm Water
  • 1 tbsp. Honey
  • 2 tbsp. Milk
  • 1 beaten Egg
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt
  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour or bread flour
  • 2 tbsp. Olive Oil or melted butter
  • Melted Butter for serving
  • Chopped Parsley for serving

Instructions

  • Bloom the yeast by giving the yeast, warm water, and honey a quick mix in a large bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes, until foamy.
  • Whisk in the beaten egg, milk, salt, and olive oil.
  • Add the flour, mix in the bowl until a shaggy dough, then transfer to a clean surface to knead 1-2 minutes, until a smooth and pliable dough, adding more flour as needed.
  • Place back in the bowl, cover, and set aside in a warm environment for 1-2 hours, until doubled in size.
  • Slice the risen dough into 6 equal pieces. Use the palm of your hands to roll into individual balls, then cover to rest 15-20 more minutes.
  • Heat up a cast iron skillet with a very light coat of olive oil over medium high heat, until you see wisps of smoke.
  • Roll out the naan thin, about 1/8″ thick, then place in the hot skillet to cook for 1 minute, until the underside is a deep golden brown. Flip and cook for 1 more minute, until the bubbles are deeply golden brown, as well. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Before serving, mix melted butter and freshly chopped parsley together to brush onto the warm naan. Enjoy!
