Ingredients
1-1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Salt (extra to top naan if desired)
1/2 cup Water
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil (plus extra for cooking)
1/4 cup Butter
2 cloves Garlic (crushed)
Instructions
In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour the water and the 1 tablespoon of olive oil in it. Stir until it forms a dough then place the dough on a counter top and knead a few times with your hands. Add a little flour if needed, but DO NOT ADD A LOT OF FLOUR.
Place the dough back in the bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rest for 15 minutes.
While the dough is resting melt the butter and crushed garlic in a small pot on the stovetop stirring until combined, then turn off the heat. You will use this later to brush the naan bread.
Divide the dough into 4 pieces and shape into balls. Roll the balls into 7 inch round/oblong flat dough.
Place a skillet on the stovetop to medium/high heat. Add one of the flat dough pieces to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until the naan gets a bit brown and chard and bubbles up. Place the naan in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Remove and repeat this process with the remaining dough.
Put the naan bread on a plate and brush with the melted garlic butter. Top with additional salt if desired.
Note: Depending upon what type of pan you use you may need to add a little oil to the pan if your dough sticks to the pan. I used a cast iron pan and it did not stick.
