1 packet Yeast Active Dry
1 Cup Water Hot from the faucet – not boiled
¼ Cup Sugar
3 Tablespoons Milk
1 Egg Wisk
2 Teaspoons Salt
4.5 Cups Bread Flour
½ Butter Melted
1 Tablespoon Garlic Minced

Instructions

Add packet of yeast in water for 10 minutes, allowing the yeast to activate (you will see the mixture foam.
Add the sugar, milk, egg, and salt, to the yeast/water mixture.
You can do this by hand or use stand mixer like a did
Add half of the bread flour (2 cups) to the mixture (mix on low so you don’t wear the flour).
Scrape down the bowl and then add another 2 cups of bread flour and mix until fully incorporated.
Take the dough out of the bowl and put on a floured surface using the last ½ cup to knead into the dough. (I like to do this by hand so I can feel the consistency of the dough vs. using a dough hook).
Knead approximately 10-15 times and form into a big ball (tucking underneath).
Grease a new clean bowl with vegetable oil or cooking spray.- add dough
Put a warm hand towel or plastic over the bowl and let it sit for 1 hour and 20 minutes, you will see dough double in size.
Take the dough out of the bowl and cut it in half, to form into smaller balls 2-3 inches each and cover for another 30 min.
Heat up a cast iron skillet with 1/2 tsp olive oil or non stick spray, on medium /high heat. Uncover dough and hand stretch out to ¼ inch thick.
Cook the Naan Bread for 1 min, brush the other side with butter and garlic.
Flip the bread and cook for 45 seconds and repeat with the next piece.
