👨‍🍳 Instruktioner

1
Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy and frothy. This indicates the yeast is active.
⏱️ 10 minutes
2
Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center. Pour in the activated yeast mixture, yogurt, and 2 tablespoons of the melted ghee. Mix with a spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
⏱️ 5 minutes
3
Knead the dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 10-15 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky. It should spring back when gently pressed. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 8-10 minutes on medium speed.
⏱️ 15 minutes
4
First rise: Lightly grease the mixing bowl with a little oil or ghee. Place the kneaded dough in the bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
⏱️ 1.5 - 2 hours
5
Shape the naan: Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release the air. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball and roll it out into an oval or teardrop shape, about 1/4 inch thick. You can also stretch them by hand.
⏱️ 15 minutes
6
Prepare for cooking: Preheat your oven broiler to high, or heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over high heat until very hot. If using a broiler, place an oven rack about 4-6 inches from the heat source. Have the remaining melted ghee, beaten egg (for egg wash), and optional minced garlic ready.
⏱️ 10 minutes
7
Cook the naan: Place one or two flattened naan onto the preheated skillet or under the broiler. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until puffed up and golden brown with some charred spots. The naan should bubble and develop blisters.
⏱️ 2-3 minutes per naan
8
Finish and serve: As soon as the naan is cooked, brush the top generously with melted ghee. If using, mix the minced garlic with the remaining ghee and brush that mixture onto the naan. Stack the cooked naan on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft. Repeat with the remaining dough.
⏱️ 5 minutes

💡 Proffstips

✓Charred spots are desirable and add to the authentic flavor.
✓Using a very hot cooking surface (broiler or cast-iron skillet) is key to achieving the characteristic puff and texture.
✓Brush generously with ghee immediately after cooking for maximum flavor and moisture.
✓For a softer naan, ensure your dough is well-kneaded and has had sufficient rising time.
