1. Prepare the Dough:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, fruit salt, regular salt, milk and water.
  2. Add the yogurt and mix well.
  3. Gradually add warm milk/water and knead to form a soft, pliable dough. You may need to adjust the water or flour slightly.
  4. Add olive oil or melted plant butter and knead for another 5-7 minutes.
  5. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 1 hour.

2. Shape the Naan:

  1. After resting, divide the dough into 4-6 equal portions.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into an oval or circle, about 1/4 inch thick.

3. Cook the Naan:

  1. Heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  2. When hot, place one naan on the skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
  3. Flip the naan and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. You can press down slightly with a spatula for even cooking.
  4. Optionally, brush the cooked naan with melted butter or ghee and sprinkle with garlic or herbs.

4. Serve:

  1. Repeat the cooking process for the remaining naan.
  2. Serve warm with your favorite curry or dip.


Tips

  1. For a softer naan, you can use a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour.
  2. You can also bake naan in a preheated oven at 500°F (260°C) for about 5-7 minutes on a baking stone or sheet.
