Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups AP flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup room temp buttermilk
  • 1 cup water give or take a bit
  • 1 stick salted butter melted for brushing
  • 5 garlic cloves minced and combined with the butter for brushing

Instructions
 

  • About an hour before you will cook them, heat your oven to its highest temp and place a pizza steel or stone into the oven. If you don’t have one you can use the clean back of a cookie sheet to cook these on. 
  • Mix the liquid ingredients with the dry in a stand mixer with the hook attached. Reserve the butter and garlic for brushing on after cooking. Knead the dough until it comes together into a smooth and stretchy ball, about 5-8 minutes. 
  • Cut into 8 pieces and form into balls. Place the balls on a greased cookie sheet and cover with greased plastic wrap and let sit for 30 minutes.
  • Lightly dust a counter and roll out one ball at a time into an 8-9 inch circle. Place it directly onto the hot sheet and let cook for about a minute until it has some dark spots. Flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until bubbled up and browned in some areas.
  • Remove to a plate and brush with the garlic butter, being sure to get some of the chopped garlic on too. Yum! Complete the rest of the dough balls until you have a nice stack of garlic naan. These keep well in the freezer once cooled and you can pull out reheat one and time in a frying pan on the stove top.
