Ingredients

  • 1 c. warm water
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 1 package dry active yeast
  • 3 1/2 -4 c. flour
  • 1/4 c. low fat sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 c. butter 1/2 stick
  • 3 garlic cloves minced

Instructions

  • In a large bowl combine the warm water, honey, and yeast. Mix slightly then allow to sit for 10 minutes or until foamy.
  • Add in the flour, sour cream, salt, baking powder, and egg. Mix well to combine.
  • Turn onto a floured surface and knead for 3-5 minutes.
  • Spray the large bowl with cooking spray and place the dough in the bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled (about 1 1/2 hours).
  • After the dough has risen, place the butter and garlic in a small skillet and cook until the butter is just melted. Set aside.
  • Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. Flatten each piece and roll into a circle 1/4 inch thick.
  • Brush one side of the Naan with garlic butter.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the Naan, butter side down, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Meanwhile, brush the top with garlic butter. Flip the bread over and cook an additional 1-2 minutes. Both sides should be golden brown. Remove to a plate to cool.
  • Repeat with remaining dough circles until all 8 are cooked. Serve immediately or store in an air tight bag for 3 days.
