Buttery Garlic Naan Bread is soft, fluffy, and brushed with irresistible garlic butter. This skillet-cooked flatbread is perfect with curries, soups, or as a wrap base, bringing restaurant-quality naan to your home kitchen with ease.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter

For Garlic Butter:

  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley or cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, yogurt, olive oil, and the activated yeast mixture.
  3. Knead the dough for 5–7 minutes until smooth and soft. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
  4. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each into an oval or teardrop shape.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for 1–2 minutes per side until puffed and golden brown.
  6. While hot, brush each naan with melted garlic butter and sprinkle with chopped herbs if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Stuff naan with cheese for a gooey twist.
  • Add chili flakes to the garlic butter for spice.
  • Use whole wheat flour for a heartier version.
  • Make dairy-free with plant-based yogurt and vegan butter.
  • Freeze cooked naan and reheat as needed.
