This recipe yields chewy, yummy, versatile, easy-to-make bread. The recipe makes 4 large or 6 smaller servings, so double the recipe if desired. We made this with organic, Italian soft wheat flour, however, you can use any flour of choice by gradually adding just enough to from dough. We've opted for dried parsley, black seed and some flaky sea salt to garnish, but feel free to experiment with whatever you love.

Instructions
- Warm the water and milk, transfer to a bowl. Add add sugar and yeast. Leave it to rest for 5-10 minutes to activate the yeast. It will get a little foamy.
- Add salt and olive oil to yeast mixture.
- Gradually add flour, stirring and adding more as needed to form dough.
- Transfer to a floured surface. Kneed for a minute with additional flour, then form into a ball. Transfer to an oiled bowl. Cover with a slightly damp towel and leave the dough to rest for 30-45 minutes. It will rise a bit but won't completely double in bulk.
- Meanwhile, gently melt garlic ghee in a saucepan. Keep it aside for later.
- Divide the dough into 4 or more equal parts.
- Either roll out a portion into a thin round, or press it out with fingertips along a small plate that's been brushed with melted garlic ghee.
- Grill the naan on a griddle or in a hot cast iron skillet that's brushed with a little garlic ghee until small brown spots form on the bottom, 2-3 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side.
- Transfer to a plate; brush with melted garlic ghee. Sprinkle with dried parsley, black seeds, and flaky sea salt, if desired.
- Repeat with each portion.
