Add the sourdough starter, milk, yogurt, and olive oil to the bowl of a stand mixer and combine the ingredients using the paddle attachment.
1 cup (227 g) sourdough starter, ⅓ cup (75 ml) milk, ¼ cup (57 g) plain yogurt, 2 tablespoons olive oil
Add the flour and salt to the mixture in the bowl, using the hook attachment to combine on low speed until a stiff, slightly shaggy dough forms (5-6 minutes).
2 ½ cups (300 g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt
Form one large ball from the dough. Return the dough to the bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a clean dish towel, and let the dough rise until it doubles in size (about 8 hours).
Divide the risen dough into 8 equal portions, form each one into a ball, and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Then, loosely cover the portioned dough with plastic wrap or a clean dish towel.
Let the dough rest for about 1 hour or refrigerate overnight, if needed.
Use a rolling pin to flatten each of the 8 dough balls until they form ⅛-inch thick rounds. Heat a medium-sized skillet over low-medium heat. Place a teaspoon of olive oil or ghee into the skillet.
Add a piece of dough to the skillet and cook until it bubbles on the top and turns brown and charred on the bottom (3-5 minutes). Flip the flatbread to cook the other side until charred spots appear (another 2-3 minutes). Transfer your naan to a waiting wire rack while you repeat this step with each of the remaining pieces of dough.
Enjoy your discard naan bread warm or at room temperature!
