Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter, plus extra for brushing
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup green onions, finely chopped
- Optional: Fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix together the warm milk, yogurt, and olive oil or melted butter.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. You may need to adjust the amount of flour or milk slightly to achieve the right consistency.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into an oval shape, about 1/8 inch thick.
- Sprinkle the minced garlic and chopped green onions over the top of each naan.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place one naan at a time onto the hot skillet, garlic and green onion side up. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the bottom is golden brown.
- Flip the naan and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
- Brush the cooked naan with additional melted butter or olive oil and optionally garnish with chopped cilantro.
- Serve the Green Onion Garlic Naan Bread warm.
