Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 cup plus 2 tbsp self-rising flour
  • 1 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt

For Cooking and Garnish

  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided (for dough and skillet brushing)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the self-rising flour and plain fat-free Greek yogurt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook.
  2. Mix and Knead: Mix on low speed until ingredients begin to combine, then knead on medium speed for about 3 minutes until a smooth ball forms.
  3. Prepare the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface, sprinkle lightly with flour, knead a few times more to form a ball.
  4. Divide Dough: Cut the dough ball into eight equal pieces.
  5. Roll Out: Roll out each piece on a floured surface into a thin, round to irregular circle.
  6. Heat Skillet: Warm a cast iron skillet over medium heat and brush it lightly with olive oil.
  7. Cook the Naan: Place one rolled dough piece into the skillet and cook until browned on the bottom, then flip and brown the other side.
  8. Garnish: Remove the naan from the skillet, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with sea salt and chopped cilantro.

Notes

  • Using self-rising flour is key; substituting with other flours will require adjustments in measurements, kneading, and cooking times.
  • The dough hook in a stand mixer ensures even kneading and a smooth dough ball.
  • Cooking on medium heat in a cast iron skillet helps achieve a nice browned crust without burning.
  • Brush the skillet with olive oil before cooking each naan to prevent sticking and promote browning.
  • Serve naan warm for the best flavor and texture.
