I love making this Simple 2 Ingredient Greek Yogurt Naan when I want fresh, soft bread without a long ingredient list or complicated steps. It’s fluffy, lightly chewy, and perfect for scooping, wrapping, or serving alongside my favorite meals.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I enjoy this recipe because it’s incredibly quick and approachable. I don’t need yeast, rising time, or special equipment, and I can have warm naan on the table in minutes. I also like how versatile it is, since it works just as well for savory dishes as it does for simple snacks.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
self-rising flour
plain Greek yogurt
Directions
I start by adding the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt to a bowl. I mix them together until a soft dough forms, then lightly knead it until smooth.
I divide the dough into equal portions and roll each one into a ball. I flatten each ball into an oval or round shape using my hands or a rolling pin.
I heat a dry skillet over medium heat and cook the naan one at a time. I cook each side until bubbles form and golden spots appear, flipping once. Once cooked, I remove the naan from the pan and keep it warm while I finish the rest.
Servings and Timing
I usually get about 4 naan from this recipe.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes
Variations
I sometimes brush the naan with butter or olive oil after cooking. When I want extra flavor, I sprinkle garlic powder, herbs, or salt on top. I also enjoy turning it into garlic naan by brushing it with melted butter and minced garlic.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftover naan in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, I warm it in a skillet or microwave until soft and heated through.
FAQs
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
I can, but I find Greek yogurt works best because it’s thicker and makes the dough easier to handle.
What if I don’t have self-rising flour?
I can make my own by mixing all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt.
Can I make this naan gluten-free?
I can use a gluten-free self-rising flour blend, though the texture may vary slightly.
Why is my dough sticky?
I add a little extra flour if needed, but I try not to overdo it so the naan stays soft.
Can I cook this naan on a grill?
I can cook it on a grill pan or outdoor grill, watching closely so it doesn’t burn.
Conclusion
I enjoy this Simple 2 Ingredient Greek Yogurt Naan because it’s fast, soft, and incredibly easy to make. It’s one of my favorite quick bread recipes when I want something warm and homemade with minimal effort.
