Garlic Naan Bread

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Garlic Naan Bread.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious dough-making adventure, grab a large bowl and gently dissolve the yeast in warm water.

2. Step 2

   Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy and bubbly—this is the yeast coming to life! While that’s happening, take another large bowl and generously coat it with oil to prevent sticking later on.

3. Step 3

   Once your yeast is ready, stir in the sugar, milk, beaten egg, and salt into the yeast mixture, creating a lovely blend of flavors.

4. Step 4

   Gradually add enough flour to form a soft, pliable dough that feels just right.

5. Step 5

   Now it’s time to knead! Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 6 to 8 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic—this is where the magic happens.

6. Step 6

   Once you’ve achieved that perfect texture, place the dough in your oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot until it doubles in size, which should take around an hour.

7. Step 7

   When the dough has risen beautifully, punch it down gently on a floured surface.

8. Step 8

   If you’re feeling adventurous, knead in some minced garlic for an extra kick of flavor.

9. Step 9

   Next, divide the dough into about 14 pieces, rolling each one into a ball.

10. Step 10

    Arrange these dough balls on a tray, cover them with a towel, and let them rise again until they double in size, which will take about 30 minutes.

11. Step 11

    While you wait, preheat a large grill pan over high heat, getting it nice and hot for that perfect sear.

12. Step 12

    Once your dough balls have risen, roll each one into a thin circle, ready for grilling.

13. Step 13

    Brush the preheated grill pan with melted butter, and place a few dough circles in the pan.

14. Step 14

    Cook them until they puff up and turn lightly golden, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.

15. Step 15

    Don’t forget to brush melted butter on the uncooked side before flipping them over to cook for another 2 to 4 minutes until they’re beautifully browned.

16. Step 16

    Once they’re done, remove them from the grill and repeat with the remaining dough.

17. Step 17

    Serve these warm, and enjoy the delightful aroma and taste of your homemade creations! Each bite is a little piece of heaven, perfect for sharing with friends and family.
