1 3/4 cups self-rising flour (80¢)
1 cup Greek Yogurt (80¢)
1/2 tsp salt (5¢)
1 tbsp butter of choice optional, to brush naan breads (20¢)
Method
- Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt and Greek yogurt. - Mix well, until combined. Then use your hands to form a large ball of dough.
- Lightly flour a wooden or kitchen surface. Sprinkle a little extra flour on top of the ball of dough, before moving it to the surface. Flatten the dough into a circular shape and divide into 8 even portions. Flatten each portion into a rectangular shape.
- Heat an oven tray or pizza stone in the oven. When hot, place the flattened dough on it and cook it for 3 minutes, before flipping and cooking for a further 2 minutes. Repeat until all the naan bread is cooked.
- Once cooked, lightly brush the tops of each naan bread with melted butter.
