Almond milk lowers calories without compromising texture.

Combine sugar, yeast, and water in a bowl at 110°F and let sit for 10 minutes until bubbly.

Add egg, salt, and milk to the bubbly yeast mixture and whisk together.

Gradually add flour in small parts, whisking in a little at a time, then attach to a mixer to knead the dough.

Once kneaded, transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let sit for about 1 hour until doubled or tripled in size.

Break the dough into 10 to 15 pieces, shaping each into a round ball and letting them rest briefly.

Roll each ball into an oval shape, stretching them thinly.

Sprinkle water on one side of the rolled dough before cooking.

Preheat a cast iron skillet and test the heat with a drop of water.

Lightly oil the skillet, place the dough with the wet side down, and cook until bubbly, then flip to char the other side.

For garlic naan, combine garlic with melted butter and brush on top after cooking.
