Recipe Summary Garlic Naan
Though restaurant naan is usually cooked in the intense heat of the tandoor oven, you can pull off this homemade version using a hot cast iron skillet. When cooked at the proper temperature, the naan will develop blistered bubbles with a lovely golden-black char. Reward yourself for a job well done by sopping it in copious amounts of curry.Ingredients | Garlic Breadsticks Dominos Recipe½ cup warm water1 teaspoon white sugar1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast¼ cup butter2 cloves garlic, minced¼ cup plain yogurt2 cups bread flour, or more as needed1 teaspoon kosher salt¼ cup chopped cilantro (Optional)DirectionsCombine water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl.
