Instructions
Mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in the yogurt till the dough is too stiff for a spoon, then knead it in the bowl till it holds together well, adding more flour if necessary. Turn it out on a floured surface and continue kneading for about 5 minutes till the dough feels smooth and elastic. Form the dough into a ball and put it in an oiled bowl, covered with a towel, to rest for an hour or longer.
Take the dough out and cut it into 10 equal pieces. Form each into a ball and press the balls flat into round discs.
Heat a large frying pan or griddle, either seasoned cast iron or a good non-stick finish. Heat your oven to about 500 or have the broiler on.

We also froze cooled naans and reheated them--worked very well.

I have tried to make restaurant naan many times with different recipes. This is the first time I have been delighted with the outcome. You have done well....
Love this recipe with your butter chicken—I’ve made it twice a month for MONTHS now and my kids adore it.
I use 10% fat Greek yogurt (we’re in Europe). I’ve found it’s the best option for this, the lower fat ones never seem to work for me. I also let it sit until it’s truly room temperature. The cold yogurt seems to delay the beautiful puffing of the naan.
Hahaha! Perfect emoji to express my feelings towards naan.. Have you ever tried peshwari naan? I swear it is game-changing.. nay, LIFE-changing. OMG.
Thanks Traci! :) I definitely need cases and cases of wine.. or at least lots of naan to eat my feelings, ha! You seriously need to make naan at home, though. It's so overpriced out at the store and never even close to as good.
Wow, thanks hon!
You really could give any Indian food place a run for their money. You would put them out of business. Great looking photos and I will have to try to make it myself! :)
