Butter Naan Flatbread
Butter Naan Flatbread
Butter Naan is a popular Indian flatbread that is traditionally made with flour, yeast, yogurt, ghee (clarified butter), and sometimes milk. It is cooked in a tandoor (clay oven), giving it a deliciously soft and slightly crispy texture. The addition of butter on top just before serving adds a rich and indulgent flavor to the naan. It is commonly served with curries, dal, or as a side dish in Indian cuisine.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter), melted
- ghee extra, for brushing
- fresh cilantro chopped (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Add the flour, yogurt, salt, and melted ghee to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
- Preheat a tawa (griddle) or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll out each portion into an oval or round shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Place the rolled-out dough on the hot tawa and cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles start to form.
- Flip the naan and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown spots appear.
- Brush the cooked naan with ghee and sprinkle with chopped cilantro if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy with your favorite curry or dish!
