Instructions

Combine the flour, instant yeast, and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the olive oil and water. Mix and knead by hand until it's a soft, non-sticky dough or put all the ingredients in a kitchen machine and let the machine knead the dough for you. Adjust the dough: If it's too sticky, add more flour. If it's too crumbly, add more water.
Coat the ball of dough in a drizzle of olive oil. Transfer the dough into a container and let it rise in the fridge overnight.
The next day: Divide the naan dough into two parts and roll it out on a floured surface.
Heat a flat pan (a crepe-pan works best) until really, really hot! Lay the first flatbread into the hot pan without oil until it's you can see bubbles on the bread. Then, for the second side, brush the pan with oil and let the other side of the bread cook for 1-2 minutes. Repeat for the other naan. Sprinkle with salt and enjoy!
