If you go on the net for Naan recipes you get about 369,000 returns. So, why am I doing this? Because I didn’t find one like this. Of course the “like this” part is optional but having 369,001 returns is not a big deal. Read more . Naan is just plane old delicious.
Ingredients:
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 generous tsp yeast
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp salt
• 2 tbsp mixing oil (butter is better)
• butter for painting, melted.
• about 3/4 cup of warm milk
• 1/4 cup sour dough starter (room temp)
• about 1/4 cup of vanilla custard (optional, you can use water)
• sesame seeds for sprinkling
Directions:
1. 1. Mix milk, custard and sour dough starter together (these should be room temp or warmer) add the yeast, mix and let proof.
2. 2. Put the flour, sugar and salt in a good size mixing bowl and stir around a bit.
3. 3. Add the mixing oil, or butter and mix thoroughly.
4. 4. Add the milk mix and work the dough into a ball. The dough should be soft and elastic, not tough. Adjust dough and kneed for 5 minutes.
5. 5. Cover dough and let stand about 30 minutes, until double in size.
6. 6. Turn your oven on to broil and put the rack at the top.
7. 7. Pinch off a golf ball size hunk of dough, + or _ and pat it into a circle about a thin 1/4” thick. Do as many of these as will fit on your greased cookie sheet.
8. 8. Put the Naan on the greased cookie sheet and pop into the oven until golden brown, about 2 - 3 minutes (every oven is itself so you gotta watch.
9. 9. Remove from oven, paint with butter (lightly) sprinkle on sesame seeds to taste, turn over and put back in the oven for another 2 minutes or so until just light brown.
10. 10. Repeat until all the dough is used up.
11. Looks like Naan to me. I love this stuff with Pate.
