Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water (at 110-degrees)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (or one packet)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cups flour (more as needed while kneading)
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt (I used Greek yogurt)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • olive oil for cooking

Directions

  1. 1

    In a measuring cup combine the warm water and yeast. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water, and then add the honey to it.

  2. 2

    Set aside for a few minutes and allow the yeast mixture to sit until a foam head grows on top.

  3. 3

    In a large mixing bowl or mixer whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.

  4. 4

    Form a well in the middle of the bowl and to this add the egg. Beat the egg, and then whisk in the yogurt.

  5. 5

    Pour in the yeast mixture.

  6. 6

    Using a large spoon mix all the ingredients together until combined.

  7. 7

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and allow the it to rest for a couple of minutes.

  8. 8

    Knead the dough and add additional flour if kneaded until you have a soft dough.

  9. 9

    Put the dough in a bowl, and cover with towel. Put in a warm spot or a cold oven and allow to rise for one hour or until the dough has roughly doubled in size.

  10. 10

    You can also rise or proof the dough in an Instant Pot. Set to yogurt function LOW for 30-minutes then cover with plate.

  11. 11

    Once dough has roughly doubled in size remove from pot, and turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.

  12. 12

    Cut the dough into 8 pieces. Form each piece into a ball, and then roll out to about 1/4-inch thickness.

  13. 13

    Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium to medium-high heat. Add a little oil to the surface and cook the naan until bubbly. This should take 2-3 minutes.

  14. 14

    Once the dough starts to bubble, and has enough bubbles for you then flip to cook for a couple more minutes on the other side. Remove to plate for serving.

  15. 15

    Serve immediately or store in an airtight storage bag or container for up to 5 days. Freeze up to three months in a freezer bag or container then thaw on counter or in refrigerator.
