Ingredients
- 1 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast with salt and sugar in warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until frothy.
- Stir in enough flour to make soft dough, about 2 ½ cups. Knead for about 5 minutes on a lightly floured surface, or until smooth. Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a plastic wrap, and set aside to rise. Let it rise for 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume.
- Flatten dough with your hands and pinch off 8 small handfuls of dough about the size of a golf ball. Roll into balls, and place on a tray. Cover with a plastic wrap, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
- Roll one ball of dough out into a thin circle. Lightly oil a cast iron pan. Place dough on pan, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned. Turn over and brush cooked side with butter. Continue cooking until browned, another 2 minutes.
- Remove from pan, and continue the process until all the naan has been prepared. Keep warm.
