Garlic Naan Bliss is soft, pillowy flatbread infused with buttery garlic flavor—perfect for scooping curries, wrapping grilled meats, or enjoying warm and fresh straight from the pan.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all‑purpose flour
  • 1 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ⅔ cup warm water or milk
  • ½ cup plain unsweetened yogurt
  • 2 tbsp oil or melted butter (for dough)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp butter (for brushing)
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Mix warm water (or milk) with sugar and yeast; let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Stir in the yeast mixture, yogurt, and oil or melted butter. Knead until dough is soft and elastic (about 5–7 minutes).
  3. Cover dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
  4. Divide the dough into 6–8 equal balls. Roll each one into an oval or tear‑drop shape roughly ¼‑inch thick.
  5. Heat a skillet or cast‑iron pan over medium‑high heat. Cook each naan one at a time: place on the hot pan until bubbles form and the bottom is golden, then flip and cook the other side until done.
  6. While still warm, brush each naan with garlic butter (melted butter mixed with minced garlic) and sprinkle with chopped herbs if using.
  7. Serve warm, straight from the skillet.

Notes

  • For a quicker version, swap yogurt + baking powder for the yeast—make ‘no‑yeast’ naan.
  • Add chili flakes to the garlic butter for a spicy twist.
  • Try half whole‑wheat flour for a wholesome version.
  • Use dairy‑free yogurt and plant‑based butter to make it vegan.
