Let's Get Started
- In a large bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
- Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for 10 minutes, until it becomes frothy.
- Add the flour, salt, vegetable oil, yogurt, and beaten egg to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, until it's smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Preheat your grill or stovetop griddle over medium heat.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle.
- Cook each piece of dough for 2-3 minutes on each side, until it puffs up and gets charred spots.
- Brush each piece of naan with melted butter before serving.
