Garlic-Cilantro Naan
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/3 cup warm water, about 110 degrees Farenheit
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 medium eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup ghee or vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- In a glass measuring cup, combine the yeast and sugar.
- Add the water and stir well.
- Let rest until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Sift the flour and salt together into a large bowl.
- Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the yeast mixture, eggs, yogurt, and 1/4 cup ghee or oil.
- Mix together with your fingers until a smooth dough forms, working in a small amount of additional flour if needed.
- Knead for 3 minutes.
- Oil a small bowl with the remaining 1 teaspoon ghee or oil.
- Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat; cover with plastic wrap and let rest in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Place a baking stone in the bottom of the oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Divide the dough into 6 pieces and gently roll into balls.
- Gently roll each ball into a 6-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.
- Brush each circle with ghee or vegetable oil (about 2 teaspoons total) and top evenly with 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro and 4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped.
- Gently press the cilantro and garlic into the dough so they adhere.
- Bake dough on the baking stone in batches until just golden brown and puffed, 8 to 10 minutes.
- You should be able to bake two naan at a time on an average size baking stone.
- Serve immediately.
