You are going to LOVE this easy “2 Ingredient Naan”. Soft, fluffy and totally delicious, this Greek yogurt naan cooks up in less than 10 minutes!
We make A LOT of Indian food at my house. And we always serve our curries with this EASY Greek yogurt naan. I call it my “2 ingredient” naan because it’s made using the viral 2 ingredient dough (Greek yogurt + self-rising flour) but if we’re being technical, I also add a little salt, brush with butter, and sprinkle with cilantro for that “naan-from-an-Indian-restaurant” vibe.
Why You’ll Love this 2 Ingredient Naan
- Minimal ingredients: We need self-rising flour (or mix up your own self-rising flour with my notes below), Greek yogurt, and a bit of salt. If you’re feeling fancy, you can brush with some butter. That’s it!
- Quick and Easy: Since we’re not using yeast, Greek yogurt naan can be made in less than 10 minutes! That’s faster than delivery!
- Easy to Customize: If you’re dairy-free, you can substitute coconut yogurt for the Greek yogurt and brush with oil instead of butter. If you’re gluten-free, you can sub gluten-free flour.
Greek Yogurt Naan Ingredients & Notes
Greek Yogurt
I used a non-fat Greek yogurt in this 2 ingredient naan recipe. Because some brands are thicker or runnier than others, think of the recipe measurements as a guideline, and add in a bit more yogurt or flour one teaspoon at a time if needed to get the dough to the perfect consistency.
Self-Rising Flour
Because we’re not using yeast, we’ll need to use self-rising flour to make sure we have enough leavening for our naan. Look for flour that’s labeled “self-rising.” If you don’t have this or can’t find it, no worries! It’s easy to make your own self-rising flour mix.
To Make Your Own Self-Rising Flour: Mix together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt.
Optional Ingredients
I like to brush my 2 ingredient naan with a bit of butter and sprinkle with cilantro.
How to Make 2-Ingredient Naan
Add your self-rising flour and salt to a bowl and mix together. Add in the Greek yogurt and and mix until it comes together in a ball. Since different brands of flour and yogurt behave differently, you may need to add a bit more flour if dough is to wet, or a bit more yogurt if the dough is too crumbly (1 tsp at a time). Dough should be soft.
Once dough has come together, knead dough ball for about 1 minutes until smooth. Next, separate into four pieces and roll into balls. Lightly flour your surface and rolling pin. Roll out to 1/4 inch. I prefer a more rustic 2-ingredient naan, but you can roll into any shape you prefer.
Next you’ll heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Lay rolled dough in dry skillet for 3 minutes, and then flip, cooking the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
Brush lightly with salted butter. This will give your Greek yogurt naan a beautiful glossy finish. Sprinkle with cilantro if desired. Serve your 2 ingredient naan with your favorite curries for dipping, like this delicious chicken spinach curry!
