Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced, optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, olive oil, and honey.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Lightly oil the mixing bowl, place the dough back into the bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

Step 6

After the resting period, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 7

Preheat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

Step 8

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into an oval shape about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 9

Place one rolled dough onto the hot skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the bottom is golden brown.

Step 10

Flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from the skillet.

Step 11

Repeat cooking with the remaining pieces of dough.

Step 12

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic if using, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 13

Brush the warm naan with the melted butter mixture, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro if using.

Step 14

Serve hot and enjoy your low sodium butter naan with your favorite dishes.
