I don't eat a lot of bread so it usually goes stale and I have to throw it away. That's why I started making Naan bread. They are easy and fast, you can make them ahead and store them in the fridge and bake piece by piece, depending how much you need. They'll be always warm and fluffy and it takes a minute or two to bake them. Also I often recycle them as a quick pizza dough. My wife and I really love them and can't imagine our week without them anymore.

Steps

30 mins

1

Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, yogurt and water in a bowl. You can mix it with a spoon until incorporated. Cover and leave on room temperature for at least 30 min.
2

Tip it out on a floured surface and divide it in three parts. At this stage you can store each part in a separate lightly floured container and store in the fridge for 3-5 days.
Divide the bigger piece into 4 smaller pieces.
3

Stretch each piece by pressing it to the floured surface and moving in circular motion until it's slightly larger than your hand or to the desired thickness.
4

Brush it with olive oil and place it on a hot pan, then brush the other side. Bake it until it's all bubbly then flip it on the other side. (30-60 seconds per side depending how hot is the pan)
