Equipment
- Cast iron skillet
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp melted butter,
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp sugar
- ½ cup warm water
- 1 pkt yeast
- 2¼ cups flour
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- vegetable oil, to grease skillet
- 2 stalks green onions or chives, sliced
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter with minced garlic clove, set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine sugar, warm water, and yeast. Stir to combine well. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes to activate.
- Place flour on your work surface in a pile and make a well in the center.
- Add the yeast water, sour cream, salt, and olive oil into the well.
- Using your fingers combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients.
- Knead the dough until smooth, about 10 minutes.
- Coat a bowl with oil and place the ball of dough in the bowl.
- Cover bowl and place in a cold oven. Turn on oven light and let the dough rise for about an hour to and hour and a half or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Place dough on your work surface.
- Using a dough scraper, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece of dough into a ball. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball of dough into an 8” circle.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat and lightly grease the surface with some vegetable oil to avoid the dough from sticking to the skillet.
- Place a dough round onto the preheated, oiled skillet. Cook until it puffs and bubbles up, and burnt spots appear. Flip and cook the other side.
- Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.
- Brush each cooked Nann with melted garlic butter, sprinkle with sliced green oninos and serve while warm.
Notes
Plain yogurt or buttermilk can be substituted for the sour cream.
