Ingredients

• All-purpose flour (maida) – 3 cups
• Dry yeast – 1 teaspoon
• Milk or curd (optional) – 1 cup
• Oil
• Salt – to taste
• Sugar – ½ teaspoon
• Water – approximately 50 ml

Instructions

1. Sieve the all-purpose flour.
2. Take about 1 cup of warm water, add yeast, sugar, salt, and about a teaspoon of oil, and mix. You can add some milk or curd too.

3. Add this mixture to the flour and prepare a very smooth, sticky dough. Add 2–3 tablespoons of oil to the dough and keep it covered for 15–20 minutes.
4. Prepare lemon-sized balls from the dough, applying dry flour to your hands. Keep the balls covered with a cloth so they don't dry out.
5. Take the dough balls one by one, press gently with your hands, and shape into a chapati-like form by transferring between your hands.
6. Preheat the oven to 450°C. Place the naan on a greased baking tray and bake for 2 minutes, then flip and bake for another 30–50 seconds.
7. Remove from the oven, apply butter while still hot, and serve with your choice of side dish.

Tips

• Letting the dough rest covered for the full 15–20 minutes helps the naan turn out soft rather than dense.
• Watch the naan closely near the end of baking — oven temperatures vary, and it can go from perfectly done to over-baked quickly at 450°C.
