Ingredients
1/3 cup warm milk
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons grated or pressed garlic
3 to 4 tablespoons water for kneading
3 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons chopped coriander or cilantro leaves
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
Instructions
1-First: mix the warm milk with the active dry yeast and granulated sugar in a bowl. Let it sit covered for about 5 minutes until it turns frothy; if it doesn’t, grab fresh yeast to keep things going. Once that’s ready, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, plain yogurt, vegetable oil, and grated garlic in another bowl, then add in the yeast mixture.
2-Next: knead everything together with 3 to 4 tablespoons of water until you get a soft, smooth dough that feels just right. Rub some vegetable oil on the dough’s surface, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for at least 2 hours or until it’s doubled in size. After that, move the dough to a clean surface and divide it into 8 equal balls, flattening each one into rounds about half an inch thick.
3-Mixing and Cooking Steps: In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, chopped coriander or cilantro leaves, and finely chopped garlic to make the garlic butter, then brush some on each flattened dough round.
4-Mixing and Cooking Steps: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and give the basket a light oil coating to prevent sticking.
5-Mixing and Cooking Steps: Cook one naan at a time for 7-8 minutes on one side until it’s lightly golden; remember not to flip it to keep the texture soft and perfect.
6-Mixing and Cooking Steps: Right after cooking, brush the naan with more garlic butter and repeat the process for the rest of the dough balls.
7-Mixing and Cooking Steps: Serve it warm for the best experience, perhaps alongside our peach and prosciutto flatbread for a fun twist on flavors.
