This Naan is super soft, bubbly, fluffy, and chewy. It’s easy to make and is ready to serve warm in under an hour. The garlic butter spread on top makes these irresistible.
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment or a large bowl, add the yeast, milk, and sugar. Whisk to combine. Allow mixture to sit for 5-10 minutes or until the surface is frothy.
2. Add in the flour, egg, salt, and softened butter. Knead the dough on medium-low speed for 5 minutes.
3. Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rise in a warm place for 1 hour. Alternatively, you can preheat the oven to 100F. Once the oven reaches the temperature, turn the oven off. Place the dough in the warm oven and allow to rise for 30 minutes.
4. Place dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise 15 minutes.
5. Roll dough out on floured surface until it is 8 inches wide.
6. Heat a cast iron skillet with a light coating of oil. Cook naan over medium heat until deep golden/slightly charred. The surface should get bubbly. Flip and cook the remaining side.remaining side will cook faster.
7. In a small bowl, stir together garlic butter. Brush over the surface of the naan. Serve and enjoy!
