This is an authentic Indian naan recipe that's broiled instead of pan-fried. I have made it many times. It goes well with Indian curry dishes that have a lot of gravy, such as butter chicken.

Ingredients

0.67 cups warm water , 110 degrees F/45 degrees C
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
0.25 cups ghee
2 teaspoons kalonji , onion seed

Instructions

1

Whisk warm water with yeast and sugar until yeast is dissolved. Cover and let stand in a warm place for 10 minutes.
2

Sift flour and salt three times into a large bowl. Add yeast mixture, yogurt, and 1/2 of the ghee. Mix into a soft dough, then knead on a floured surface until dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place dough into a large greased bowl, cover, and let stand in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in volume.
3

Punch down dough, then knead for 5 minutes. Divide dough into six equal pieces. Roll each piece out into 8-inch rounds.
4

Cover an oven tray with foil and grease the foil. Brush dough rounds with remaining ghee and sprinkle with kalonji. Cook one at a time under the broiler until puffed and lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side.
