Description

Soft, fluffy, and chewy high-protein instant stovetop naan made quickly without yeast or long rising times. Greek yogurt and protein powder boost the protein content while the stovetop cooking method keeps the recipe simple and convenient for busy days.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop unflavored protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Butter or olive oil for brushing

Instructions

  1. Add the self-rising flour, protein powder, garlic powder, and salt to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Stir in the Greek yogurt and olive oil until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth and soft. If sticky, sprinkle in a little extra flour.
  4. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each piece into a flat oval shape.
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Place one naan in the hot skillet and cook for about 2 minutes until bubbles appear.
  7. Flip the naan and cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown spots form.
  8. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  9. Brush the warm naan with butter or olive oil and sprinkle chopped parsley on top before serving.

Notes

  • You can skip the protein powder for a more traditional naan texture.
  • If using all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour, add 2 teaspoons baking powder and an extra pinch of salt.
  • For a cheesy variation, mix shredded mozzarella into the dough.
  • Add chili flakes, minced garlic, cilantro, sesame seeds, or nigella seeds for extra flavor.
  • Store leftover naan in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or 5 days in the refrigerator.
  • Freeze cooked naan in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in a warm skillet or microwave with a damp paper towel to keep soft.
