Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar, or more to taste
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
- 5 ½ cups bread flour, or as needed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (Optional)
- ¼ cup butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Combine water, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl. Let stand until bubbly and frothy, about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in milk, egg, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth, 6 to 8 minutes. Place dough into a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise until the dough has doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Step 3
Punch down dough and knead well. For garlic naan, knead in garlic at this point.
Step 4
Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of golf balls. Roll into balls, cover with a clean cloth, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
Step 5
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Step 6
Roll out 2 balls of dough into elongated ovals. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and cook under the broiler until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Brush butter on both sides and flip. Continue broiling until the second side is firm and golden, 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining dough.
