2-Ingredient Dough:
The base of this recipe is the ever-popular 2-ingredient dough that’s been circling the internet for a few years. All you need is self-rising flour and greek yogurt (I PROMISE it will work!).
How to make your own self-rising flour
If you don’t have self-rising flour (or don’t want to buy any), you can make your own at home.
Combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. That’s it!

Get My Meal Plans NOW!How to make homemade naan:
- In an electric mixer (this is the one we always use to make bread), combine the greek yogurt and self-rising flour until a dough starts to form (I used the dough hook attachment). If the dough is dry, you can add another Tablespoon of yogurt. If it’s too tacky, add more flour a Tablespoon at a time. Continue to knead until the dough comes together. (You can also do this step by hand, but it will take about 15 minutes and a lot of muscle).
- Lightly flour a work surface, and roll the dough into a large ball. Cut the dough into 6 pieces.
- Roll out each piece of dough to about 1/4″ thickness and 6 inches in diameter.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brush with butter or olive oil. Cook each naan on each side for about 2 minutes. It should start to bubble up and lightly char.
- Remove from the skillet, brush with melted butter, garlic salt, and chopped cilantro. Serve warm.

How to store Homemade Naan:

You can also wrap the naan in saran wrap or aluminum foil, then place it in a freezer-safe ziploc bag and store it in the freezer for up to 60 days.
Defrost and heat it in the microwave before serving.
