Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp active dry yeast
2 tsp salt
1 cup warm water
1 tbsp sugar
½ cup yogurt
1 tbsp oil

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, yeast, warm water, yogurt and oil.
3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp active dry yeast, 2 tsp salt, 1 cup warm water, 1 tbsp sugar, ½ cup yogurt, 1 tbsp oil
Mix the ingredients together to form a soft dough. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour, but don't overdo it. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
On a floured surface, roll out each ball into 8” circle.
Heat up a skillet over high heat, and cook each naan for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until it puffs up and gets brown spots.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and minced garlic. As soon as the naan comes out of the oven or skillet, brush the tops with the garlic butter mixture.
Sprinkle chopped parsley and enjoy!

Notes

To Reheat:

The key is to not overheat it and to make sure you add moisture. You can microwave it by wrapping it in a damp paper towel and microwaving it for 30 seconds. You could also put it in the oven at a lower temperature (300-350F) and wrap it in foil to create steam and therefore, moisture. If you reheat it on the stovetop, you can add a little oil to a low-medium heated skillet and place the naan in there covered and/or sprinkled with a little water to create steam. Finally, you can add it to the air fryer with a brush of butter or a sprinkle of water. The best thing you can do when reheating naan is to watch it closely - you don’t want dried-out naan.
