Notes
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add yogurt, milk, and melted butter. Mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.2. Rest the Dough
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes . This helps make the naan soft and easier to roll out.3. Divide the Dough
Divide the dough into 8 small balls (about the size of a golf ball). These will be rolled into mini naan breads.4. Roll Out Each Piece
On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a small oval shape — about ¼ inch thick.5. Cook on Stovetop or Oven
You have two options:- Stovetop Method: Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for about 1–2 minutes per side , until golden brown spots appear and they puff slightly.
- Oven Method: Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) . Place naan on a baking sheet and bake for 6–8 minutes , or until puffed and lightly charred in spots.
