Instructions
-
Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, mix the active dry yeast with warm milk and sugar. Set this aside for about 5 minutes, allowing it to become frothy.
-
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, creating a well in the center.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the frothy yeast mixture, additional milk, plain yogurt, egg, and ghee. Stir until well mixed.
-
Form the Dough: Pour the wet mixture into the well of the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together until combined.
-
Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
-
Let It Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, which usually takes about 1 hour.
-
Preheat the Oven: While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If using a baking stone, place it in the oven to preheat for 30 minutes.
-
Shape the Naan: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out onto a floured surface. Shape each piece into an oval or slipper form, about 10 inches long and 6 inches wide.
-
Add Toppings: Sprinkle the shaped naan with onion seeds and fresh cilantro, pressing them lightly into the dough.
-
Bake: Place the naan on the preheated baking stone or greased baking sheets. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the naan is puffed and golden.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Remove the naan from the oven, brush with melted ghee if desired, and serve warm alongside your favorite dishes.
