Naan

I got the recipe off Pinterest, but it's found here:

Di's Notes:
This was the best naan recipe I have ever found! You will want to double it, at least! Roll it out fairly thin because they do puff up as you cook them. Be sure to roll them out right before you cook them. Don't roll them all out at once and then cook them. Roll one out, and while it's cooking, roll out the next one, and so on. Be patient! It's worth it! You'll want to double this recipe!

2 t yeast
1 t sugar
1/2 c. water
2-3 c. flour divided (whole wheat flour can be used, but be careful not to use too much)
1/2 t salt
1/2 c vegetable oil (I subsititute butter)
1/3 c. plain greek yogurt
1 egg, beaten
Melted butter

Combine yeast, sugar, and water in mixing bowl. When it's frothy, add the oil, yogurt, and egg until combined.
In another bowl, combine 1 cup of flour with salt. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture slowly to incorporate both ingredients. Add more flour a half a cup at a time until you can no longer stir it with a spoon (about 1 1/2-2 cups)
Knead the dough for about three minutes, adding more flour if necessary. Dough should be smooth and soft, not sticky.
Loosely cover the dough and let rise until double (45 min)
Gently flatten out the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a small ball.
Heat a lart skillet over medium heat and keep it at medium heat. Spray with cooking spray. Working with one ball at time, roll it out until about 1/4 inch thick or about 6 inches in diameter. Place rolled out dough onto the hot skillet and cook until underside is golden brown and bubbles have formed on the surface. Flip the dough and cook the other side until brown as well. Brush with melted butter. Serve with your favorite Indian Food dish!
