Two-Ingredient Naan

Two-Ingredient Naan

8 servings
While not a true naan bread, this sure works in a pinch!

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups self-rising flour

    or more as needed

  • 1 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt

Directions

  1. 1

    Mix self-rising flour and Greek yogurt together in a large bowl until combined. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth, adding more flour as necessary to keep dough from sticking, 2 to 3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Pat dough into a rough 9x7-inch rectangle. Divide into 8 equal pieces. Lightly dust each piece with flour and flatten into a semi-rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Lightly grease a large skillet and place it over medium heat. Add 1 or 2 of the flattened dough pieces to the skillet. Cook until they begin to bubble and brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip over and cook an additional 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and repeat with remaining dough until all pieces are cooked. Serve warm.

About this Recipe

Craving a warm, pillowy flatbread but don't have the time or ingredients for a complex recipe? This Two-Ingredient Naan is your simple, speedy solution, delivering a delicious side in just 30 minutes.

Why This Recipe Works

What makes this recipe truly special is its incredible simplicity and speed. By relying on just self-rising flour and whole-milk Greek yogurt, you eliminate the need for yeast, extensive kneading, or proofing time. It’s the perfect answer for when you need a versatile bread in a pinch, transforming basic pantry staples into something surprisingly satisfying.

What to Expect

You'll find this quick flatbread to be wonderfully soft and pliable, with a subtle tang from the Greek yogurt that adds depth to its simple flavor profile. While it’s not traditional naan in every sense, it offers a delightful chew and a comforting texture that makes it an excellent accompaniment to many dishes. Prepare for a versatile bread that’s remarkably easy to make and even easier to enjoy.

Customization & Variations

While the core recipe features only two ingredients, you can easily elevate its flavor. Consider kneading in a tablespoon of fresh chopped garlic or herbs like parsley and cilantro directly into the dough for an aromatic twist. You could also brush the cooked flatbreads with melted butter and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt or chili flakes for an extra layer of richness and spice.

Serving & Context

This versatile Two-Ingredient Naan is perfect for dipping into curries, scooping up hummus, or even as a base for quick pizzas. It makes a fantastic, crowd-pleasing addition to any weeknight meal or casual gathering, providing a fresh, homemade touch with minimal effort.
