Yield: 6 naan
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

240g Khorasan flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
240 g yogurt (regular or Greek yogurt)
All-purpose flour, for rolling (as needed)

Instructions

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the Khorasan flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add Yogurt

Stir in the yogurt until a soft dough forms. If needed, add a little extra flour or yogurt to adjust consistency.

Rest the Dough

Cover and let the dough rest for 10–15 minutes. This helps hydrate the flour and makes the dough easier to work with.

Divide & Shape

Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each into a smooth ball.

Roll Out

Lightly flour a clean surface with all-purpose flour. Flatten each dough ball, flour both sides, and gently roll out to about 1/4 inch thickness. Don’t roll too thin—thicker dough yields softer, chewier naan.

Cook

Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat (about level 6 on induction). Reduce to medium (level 5) once hot. Cook one naan at a time for about 2–3 minutes per side, until golden with puffed, bubbly spots.

Serve

Serve immediately while warm. Naan is best enjoyed fresh off the pan.

Tip

Use the Khorasan flour in the dough for its nutty flavor and golden hue, but stick to all-purpose flour for rolling, it helps keep the texture light and pliable.
