If you’re looking for an Easy Naan Bread Recipe you’ve found it! You technically only need 3 ingredients to make this delicious pita bread like Indian food.
Traditional Naan Bread is made with all purpose flour, warm water, a yeast mixture and is traditionally cooked in a blazing hot tandoor oven. This Homemade Naan recipe only uses 3 ingredients and is made on the stove top in a large skillet.
It tastes just like your favorite Indian Restaurants version but it’s made at home with simple ingredients! We like to serve our Easy Homemade Naan Bread Recipe with:

Ingredients needed to make Easy Homemade Naan Bread:
- Plain greek yogurt
- Self rising flour
- Butter
- Garlic salt or Garlic Butter (optional topping)
- Cilantro (optional topping)
How to make Easy Homemade Naan Bread:
- In a Stand Mixer or large bowl, 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 extra flour to the yogurt mixture, a Tablespoon at a time (you don’t want too much flour in there). Continue to knead until the naan dough comes together. (You can also do this step by hand, but it will take about 15 minutes and some muscle).
- Use a lightly floured surface, and roll the dough into a large ball. Cut the dough into 6 even soft dough balls.
- Roll out each piece of dough ball with a rolling pin to about 1/4″ thickness and 6 inches in diameter.
- Heat a skillet (a cast iron skillet works great) over medium-high heat and brush with butter (or olive oil). Cook naan on hot skillet each side for about 1-2 minutes. It should start to bubble up and lightly char.
- Remove from the skillet, brush with melted butter, garlic salt, and chopped cilantro as desired.
- Serve warm.
How to store this Easy Naan Recipe:
Allow the naan bread to cool completely to room temperature before storing it. To store the leftover naan bread, place it in an airtight container or resealable ziplock bag. This will help retain its moisture and prevent it from drying out. Naan Bread should last 5-7 days on the counter. If stored in the fridge it can last a couple of days longer. FREEZE. Wrap in Saran Wrap or foil and for extra security, place in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

-
You may need more or less flour depending on your altitude and humidity levels. I ended up using about 1 1/4 cups of flour. Always start with less and add more as needed.
