all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: bread flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

garlic

💰Cheaper: garlic powder

Garlic powder can be a convenient substitute.

Add all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder to a mixing bowl and whisk together.

Add milk and water in a 1:1 ratio little by little while mixing to form a dough.

Drizzle olive oil into the mixture and continue mixing until everything comes together.

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is soft and smooth.

Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, take the dough out and knead it again for 1 minute.

Divide the dough into small balls and roll each into an oval shape.

Sprinkle nigella seeds and grated garlic on top of the rolled dough and press them slightly into the surface.

Brush water on the back side of the naan.

Heat an iron pan (or stainless steel) on high heat and place the naan water-side down, pressing gently on the sides.

Cook until bubbles start to form, then flip the pan and place it directly on the flame to cook evenly on all sides.

Once you see brown spots on the naan, remove it from the heat using a spatula.

Transfer the naan to a plate and brush with butter while still warm.
