Ingredients

  • 1 whole head of garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for roasting garlic)
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons instant dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter (for brushing)
  • 2 tablespoons roasted garlic paste (from the roasted garlic)
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley or coriander

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Cut the top off the garlic head, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 35–40 minutes until soft and golden. Let cool, then squeeze cloves into a paste.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
  3. Add warm milk, yogurt, and olive oil. Stir until dough forms.
  4. Knead on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth.
  5. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and rise for 60–90 minutes until doubled.
  6. Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll into balls and rest for 10 minutes.
  7. Roll each ball into an oval or round about 1/4 inch thick.
  8. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for 1–2 minutes per side until bubbly and charred.
  9. Mix melted butter with roasted garlic paste and brush over hot naan.
  10. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or coriander and serve warm.

Notes

  • Ensure the skillet is very hot for best puff and char.
  • Use whole milk and full-fat yogurt for extra soft texture.
  • Jarred roasted garlic can be used in place of fresh if needed.
  • Dough can be refrigerated after rising and used the next day.
  • Make vegan by using plant-based dairy alternatives and oil instead of butter.
