Put the bread flour in a bowl. Add the salt and baking powder, then whisk well until evenly mixed.
- 2
Gently add the Greek yogurt, then add the garlic and green onions. Using a wooden spoon, slowly start mixing everything together, stirring and pressing until a shaggy dough forms.
- 3
Move the dough to a work surface and use your hands to press it together. Knead for a few minutes until the dough is elastic and slightly sticky. Add a little more flour only as needed, keeping extra flour to a minimum. Continue kneading until the dough is a bit stretchy, 3 to 5 minutes.
- 4
Wrap the dough in plastic and let it rest on the counter for 15 to 20 minutes.
- 5
Use a bench scraper to cut the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll 1 portion into a ball. Place it on a generously floured surface, then use a rolling pin to roll it out thin, about 1/8 inch or less. It is fine if the naan is not perfectly round. You will need extra flour for rolling because the dough is sticky, but use as little as possible.
- 6
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high until hot. Place the rolled dough into the hot, dry skillet and cook until small bubbles form on the surface and the underside is lightly browned, about 1 minute. Flip the naan and cook 1 more minute. Press down lightly with a spatula to increase contact during cooking. Flip two more times, cooking an additional 15 seconds per side, and avoid overcooking to keep the texture. The naan should still be flexible when you remove it to a plate.
- 7
Cover the naan with a kitchen towel to keep it warm and moist while you cook the remaining pieces. Stack all 6 naan on top of each other and keep them covered with a kitchen towel.
- 8
After cooking all 6 naan, unstack them and brush the first naan on both sides with a little melted butter. Place the second naan on top and brush only the top side. Continue stacking and buttering all the naan in this way. Fold each naan into a triangle and serve.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
