Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.75 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, instant yeast, salt, and baking powder. Mix well using a whisk or fork.

Step 2

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add warm water, olive oil, and Greek yogurt. Stir the mixture gradually until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the kneaded dough back in the bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 4

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Incorporate the minced garlic and chili flakes into the dough by kneading gently.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Let them rest for another 10 minutes under the damp cloth.

Step 6

Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Take one ball of dough and roll it out on a floured surface into an oval shape, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 8

Place the rolled dough onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until brown spots appear, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 9

Once cooked, brush each naan with melted butter if using. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as a delicious accompaniment to curries or soups.
