Easy Butter Naan Recipe | Soft & Fluffy Butter Naan – Page 2

Action	Details
1	In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt
2	Crack in 1 egg
3	Add melted butter
4	Gradually add lukewarm milk while kneading
5	Knead for 5–7 minutes until the dough becomes soft and smooth
6	Rub a little butter on the dough to keep it moist
7	Cover the bowl and let it rest for 30–60 minutes, or until doubled in size

Pro tip: The milk should be lukewarm (not hot) to activate the yeast without killing it.

Action	Details
1	After proofing, punch down the dough
2	Divide it into 6 equal portions
3	Grease your hands lightly with oil
