Soft, fluffy Greek yogurt naan made in under 20 minutes! This easy, no-yeast recipe is perfect for pairing with curries, wraps, or dips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 1/8 tsp baking powder
  • Just under 1/2 tsp salt (around 7/16 tsp)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or whole-milk both work—whole-milk will give a richer texture)

Optional toppings:

  • Melted butter or ghee
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Garlic for a garlic naan variation

Instructions

  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  • Add Yogurt & Knead: Add the plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or whole-milk) to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead in the bowl for about 2-3 minutes until smooth.

  • Divide the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide it into 4 equal parts.

  • Roll Out: Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into an oval or rectangular shape about ¼-inch thick.

  • Cook Until Bubbly: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease with olive oil (just once). Place one rolled dough piece on the hot pan and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.

  • Flip & Finish: Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and slightly charred in spots. Brush with melted butter or oil and top with herbs, spices, or seeds like garlic or cilantro. Serve warm!

Notes

Troubleshooting Tips:

  • Dough too sticky? Add a little extra flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it’s easier to handle.
  • Naan not puffing? Make sure your pan is hot enough. The high heat helps create those signature bubbles.
  • Too dry or tough? You may have overcooked it—try reducing the cooking time slightly or use whole-milk Greek yogurt for extra moisture.
