Garlic naan

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (about 280g)
1 tsp sugar
1/2 cup warm water (about 120ml)
1 tsp active dry yeast (7g)
3 heaped tbsp plain yoghurt
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp oil
3 tbsp melted butter
2 cloves garlic, crushed
small handful of coriander, sliced thin

Directions

Start by mixing together the flour, sugar, warm water, yeast, yoghurt, salt, and a drizzle of olive oil in a mixing bowl.
Once the dough starts to form into a ball, turn it out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes or until it's smooth.
Place the dough back into a greased bowl and cover with a tea towel for 30-40 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Remove the dough from the bowl and place it onto an oiled surface. Cut the dough into 8 even pieces.
Roll each piece into a tight, smooth ball before rolling them out with a rolling pin.
On one side, place some crushed garlic and sliced coriander, then flip and roll out once more to embed them into the dough.
Cook the naan in a hot pan until bubbles form and it is golden brown on both sides. As soon as they're cooked, brush with some melted butter.
