Directions
Step 1:
In a mixing bowl, mix together all the dough ingredients.
Place the dough on your work surface lightly floured, form a compact ball, then put the ball of dough in the bowl and cover with a plastic film.
To allow the dough to rise: let it rest for 1 hour near a heat source, in summer in the sun, in winter near the radiator or in a slightly heated oven.
Step 2:
After 1 hour of rest, cut the dough in 6 small balls.
Flatten each piece of dough and place on a baking pan. Do not over-flatten them, if they are too thin, they will not swell. Aim at 2 to 3 millimetres thick.
Cover the baking pan with a cloth and let rest for another 30 minutes near a heat source as before.
Step 3:
Preheat the oven to 240 ° C / 500 ° F
Step 4:
After 30 minutes of rest, using a knife, spread a thin layer of plain yoghurt on both sides of each naan.
Put the baking pan with the naans in the hot oven (240 ° C / 500 ° F) and cook for 10 minutes.
Serve straight from the oven.
