Place the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl and mix together.

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, sugar and egg and mix thoroughly until the sugar has dissolved.

Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and knead together with your hands to form a soft dough.

Once a dough is soft and has come together, cover the bowl with a damp cloth and leave to rest for 15 minutes.

After the dough has rested, add the oil and knead the oil into the dough.

Weigh the dough and divide into 8 pieces.

One at a time, roll the pieces out on a lightly floured surface to form circles approximately 4” in diameter.

Heat a nonstick pan on high heat. Place the first piece of dough onto the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the underside of the bread to colour with the signature dark spots. Flip the naan over and cook the other side.

Once each naan is cooked, brush with butter and sprinkle with garlic if using.  Serve naan warm.
