Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough

  • Combine all-purpose flour, yogurt, salt, oil, baking soda, and sugar in a large bowl.
  • Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms.
  • Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest in a warm place for at least 2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Shape and Roll the Naan

  • Once the dough has risen, divide it into 8-10 equal-sized balls.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into an oval or round shape, about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Sprinkle dried mint leaves evenly over the rolled naan.
  • Gently roll over the mint to adhere it to the dough.

Cook the Naan

  • Heat a lightly oiled tawa (griddle) over medium heat.
  • Place a naan on the hot tawa, and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly puffed up. Lightly brush the surface with water before placing on the tawa for better browning.
  • If using a gas stovetop, you may briefly lift the edge and sprinkle a few drops of water under the naan to aid in puffing.

Serve

  • Once cooked, brush each naan generously with melted butter.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite Indian dishes.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Naan

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or chili flakes to the dough.
  • If your dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
  • Don't overcrowd the tawa; cook the naan in batches to ensure even browning.
  • For a crispier naan, cook it over higher heat for a shorter time.
