            Ingredients 

Dough

• 158g warm water 
• 2 1⁄2 active yeast
• 1 1⁄2 tbsp honey
• 360g all purpose flour
• 62g olive oil
• 70g plain yogurt / greek yogurt
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp onion powder

Garlic Cilantro Butter

• 6 tbsp unsalted melted butter
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tbsp chopped cilantro

Preparation

Step 1

Place yeast, honey in a bowl of warm water and cover with plastic wrap for 10 minutes. In a separate bowl (or stand mixer bowl), add flour, olive oil, salt, garlic powder and onion powder and mix ingredients using dough hook on low or a whisk for 1 minute.

Step 2

Slowly add risen yeast, yogurt and olive to bowl with dry mixture and knead using dough hook or hands for 8-10 minutes. Once dough forms, transfer to a large bowl greased with olive oil and cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 90 minutes.

Step 3

Once dough has doubled in size, remove plastic wrap from bowl. Use your knuckles and gently press down into dough to deflate air pockets. Divide dough into 8-10 balls.

Step 4

Melt unsalted butter in a heat proof bowl. Place minced garlic, chopped cilantro and pinch of salt into bowl of melted butter, mix until combined and set aside.

Step 5

Heat cast iron skillet on medium high. On a flat surface, pour some olive oil and place a ball of dough onto surface. Use finger tips to spread out ball of dough, once dough is flat place it on hot skillet and cook each side for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat process with remaining dough balls.

Step 6

Brush each piece of naan with garlic cilantro butter. Serve naan warm with your favorite curry and enjoy!
