This is a great naan recipe. I prepared it when we decided to try an Indian dinner. Prep. time does not include time for rising of dough. Naan bears a strong resemblance to pita bread. Ingredients:
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast |
1 cup warm water |
1/4 cup white sugar |
3 tablespoons milk |
1 egg, beaten |
2 teaspoons salt |
4 1/2 cups bread flour |
2 teaspoons minced garlic (optional) |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand 10 minutes, until frothy. Stir in sugar, milk, egg and salt and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead for about 8 minutes on a floured surface, until smooth. Place in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth and set aside to rise. Allow to rise for 1 hours Dough will double in volume.
2. Punch down dough. Knead in garlic. Pinch off dough to the size of golf balls. Roll into ball shape, and place on a tray. Cover with a towel and allow to rise until doubled in size. Approximately 30 minutes.
3. During second rising, preheat grill to high heat.
4. At grill side, roll one ball of dough out to a thin circle. Lightly oil grill. Place dough on grill and cook 2-3 minutes until puffy or slightly browned. Brush uncooked side with butter and turn over. Brush cooked side with butter and cook until browned., another 2-4 minutes. Remove from grill, and continue process until all naan is prepared.
