Instructions
How to Make Sourdough Naan
Begin by mixing ½ cup of active sourdough starter or discard with warm water and yogurt. Add the olive oil and salt. Then add the flour and mix until a dough forms. Form into a mound, cover, and let it sit in a warm spot in your kitchen for 6 to 8 hours.
Once the dough has fermented, use floured hands to divide and shape it into 12 balls.
Bring a large flat skillet with olive oil to medium heat. Once the oil is hot, roll a dough ball out on a floured surface (¼-1/8 inch thick) and immediately place it into the skillet. Cook for 30-45 seconds or until golden spots form on the bottom and bubbles form on top. Flip and cook on the other side for the same amount of time.
Remove from the skillet and repeat this process (oiling the pan, rolling the naan, frying naan) until all of the dough is used. You will have 12 beautiful golden naan.
