Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Warm water - 100 ml
• Plain yogurt - 50 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Sugar - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh garlic - 1 clove, minced (optional)
• Fresh cilantro - 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional)

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, yogurt, and olive oil until well combined.
3. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 1 hour at room temperature.
6. After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
7. Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into an oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
8. If using, sprinkle minced garlic and chopped cilantro on the rolled dough and gently press them in.
9. Heat a skillet or tandoor over medium-high heat and place one naan in the skillet.
10. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
11. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough, keeping the cooked naan warm in a towel until serving.
