Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 280 g
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt 5 g
  • ½ cup warm whole milk 122 g
  • ¼ cup full-fat plain yogurt 65 g
  • 1 teaspoon cane sugar 4 g
  • ¾ cup sourdough discard 189 g - active will also work
  • Butter to brush the naan with - optional

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, yogurt, sugar, and sourdough discard until combined.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until incorporated. The dough will be shaggy at first. Roll onto a clean work surface and lightly knead for about 1 minute or just until the dough comes together and is mostly smooth.
  • Place into a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a tea towel. Place somewhere warm for about 5-6 hours or until the dough has doubled in size. Check on it at the 4 hour mark.
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll them out until they’re about 6” ovals. They don’t need to be perfect.
  • Preheat a pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add one of the pieces of rolled out dough and cook for about 60-90 seconds per side.
  • Remove from the pan once done and brush with some melted butter if desired. Repeat with the remaining dough.
