Lahori Tandoori Naan (lahori Tandoori Naan)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons ghee or butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup warm water

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it stand for about 10 minutes until the yeast activates and becomes frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yogurt, melted ghee or butter, and the yeast mixture. Mix everything together to form a soft dough.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  4. Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball and then flatten it into an oval or round shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Heat a non-stick pan or tava over medium heat. Place the rolled naan onto the pan and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until it puffs up and gets brown spots.
  6. Brush the cooked naan with some melted ghee or butter before serving.
