Garlic Naan

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp instant yeast
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup warm water
• 4 tbsp ghee, melted
• 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 2 tbsp chopped cilantro

Method

1. Whisk the flour, yeast, sugar, salt and baking powder in a large bowl.
2. Add the yogurt, oil and warm water and knead for 6 to 8 minutes into a soft, slightly tacky dough.
3. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
4. Divide into 8 pieces and roll each into an oval about 1/4 inch thick.
5. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Cook each naan until bubbles rise and the bottom has dark spots, 1 to 2 minutes, then flip for 1 minute.
6. Stir the garlic and cilantro into the melted ghee and brush it over the hot naan. Keep them wrapped in a towel while you cook the rest.
