Naan Bread

Ingredients:
  •  ¼ cup warm water - about 110°
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1½ tsp active dry yeast, or instant yeast
  • ¾ cup warm milk
  • ¾ cup plain yogurt
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
Directions:

  1. Combine the warm water and sugar in a large mixing bowl and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Sprinkle in the yeast over the top and let sit for 5 minutes, until foamy.
  2. Add in the warm milk, yogurt, olive oil, baking powder, salt, and all-purpose flour. Combine with your hands or a sturdy wooden spoon until the dough ball forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead the dough for 3 to 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  3. Coat the mixing bowl with olive oil, add the dough ball back to the bowl, and cover. Let sit in a warm location for about 1 hour, until the dough is double in size.
  4. Divide the risen dough into 10 equal wedges and then roll into an elongated circle (oval shape), about ¼" to ⅛" thin.
  5. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and coat it with oil. Once the pan is nice and hot, you may want to reduce the heat so you don't scorch the bread.
  6. Add the rolled-out dough to the pan, and let it cook for about 30 to 60 seconds until bubbles start to form. Flip over and cook for an additional 30 to 60 seconds, until the bread, is browned and cooked through.
  7. Remove the naan bread from the skillet, brush with butter and sprinkle with Tastefully Simple Garlic, Garlic.
