Recipe
Garlic Naan
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup sour cream
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp active dry yeast
1 egg
3 tbsp vegetable oil
2-2 ½ cups flour
1 tsp salt
¼ cup butter
1-2 cloves of garlic
Warm milk and sour cream in a microwave in 20 second intervals until its warm, not hot.
Add sugar and yeast, then stir together and let sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Add egg and oil to the yeast mixture, then mix.
In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of flour and salt, then add wet mixture to it and knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour as needed, but no more than ½ cup.
Oil your mixing bowl and put dough in it to let rise for 45 minutes-1 hour.
Punch down dough and divide it into 6 equal pieces. Roll out each piece into an oval or rectangle to be about 9x5 inches and let rest for 3 minutes.
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with oil (can be spray).
Put a single rolled out dough piece in the skillet and cook about 1-2 minutes before flipping and cooking another 1-2 minutes.
Once you’ve cooked all the pieces, melt ¼ cup of butter and minced garlic together and brush onto the pieces of naan. Sprinkle with parsley if you’d like and ENJOY!
Tips & tricks
For smaller pieces, cut dough into 8 pieces instead of 6.
If the first couple of pieces burn, turn your heat down a little and keep an eye on them as they cook.
