- Combine the yeast, water and sugar in a large bowl. Let stand 10 minutes, till bubbly and frothy.
- Stir in milk, egg, salt and enough flour to make a soft dough (you may not use all of the flour). Knead for 6 to 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, or until smooth. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume.
- Punch down dough, and knead well. If you wish to make garlic naan, knead in the minced garlic now.
- Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of a golf ball. Roll into balls, cover with a cloth and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
- During the second rising, preheat grill.
- Roll out a ball of dough into an elongated oval. Place on an ungreased baking tray and cook under the grill for about 2 minutes or until lightly browned. Brush butter on both sides, then return to the grill and cook the other side for another 2 minutes, or until firm and golden. Repeat with remaining dough.

I never knew naan could be this easy! - 15 Oct 2012
Fantastic! Couldn't believe these turned out so well. Can't wait to cook again. - 12 Apr 2015
Great recipe, easy to make and is yummmmmmyyyy! Huge hit with the family! I have made it a couple of times now and pre cook the minced garlic in a bit of oil until half cooked then add to dough as the garlic was a bit too hot and raw for the kids otherwise. I also cooked mine on the pan. - 25 Nov 2012 (Review from Allrecipes AU | NZ)
