- Yield: 6 naan breads
- 5 Syns per naan bread. (4.5 without butter)
Ingredients:
- 150g (5.3oz) plain flour, plus extra for dusting
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- Pinch of fine sea salt
- 180g (6.4oz) Fat Free Plain Greek Yogurt (not Greek Style)*
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro (coriander)
- Sea salt
- Cooking oil spray
Instructions:
- Reserve about ¾ tablespoon of flour for dusting.
- In a bowl, combine the remaining flour, baking powder, and pinch of sea salt.
- Add the thick Greek yogurt (without the natural liquid on top) and 1 minced garlic clove. Mix with a silicone spatula until all ingredients are combined and the dough forms a ball. Do not use your hands for this part as the dough may stick.
- Knead the dough with your hands and divide it into 6 equal-sized balls.
- Dust one ball of dough with reserved flour and place it between wax or parchment paper. Use a board or heavy saucepan to flatten it into a flat circle.
- Dust again and use a rolling pin to roll the dough into naan bread shapes (approximately 5×7 inches). Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining balls of dough.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and spray with cooking oil.
- When the pan is hot, add 2-3 naan breads and cook each side for approximately 3 minutes until golden brown. Check frequently to ensure they do not burn.
- Once cooked, melt the butter and add the remaining minced garlic clove and finely chopped cilantro. Brush this over the naan breads and add a pinch of sea salt to each one.
