Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water around 110°F
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp active dry yeast
- 1 egg beaten
- 3 tbsp milk
- 2 tsp salt
- 3 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk the water, yeast, and sugar together. Let the ingredients sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature until frothy.
- Nest, whisk in the milk, egg, and salt. In small portions, carefully add the flour as you mix. Knead the flour for 6-8 minutes by hand on a lightly floured surface or in a stand mixer.
- Place dough in a bowl and cover it with a plastic wrap. Let the dough rise for about an hour, or until it has doubled in volume.
- Split the dough into 10-15 equal sized pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place it on well-floured work surface. Cover the dough balls with a towel and allow them to rise for 15-20 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball until it's thin.
- On a preheated cast iron skillet, cook each naan for about 3 minutes on each side.
- Serve with garlic-herb ghee or plain.
