Naan!!



Instead of making the same old pizza dough that i always seem to make i decided to make some tasty Naan bread. It is always one of those things that i just love to eat and well can never seem to really get enough of it.

So i looked around and found this recipe. I followed it pretty much to a T but used normal flour.

Start off by adding to a bowl.
  • .25 ounce package of active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
In another bowl add
  • 4.5 cups of flour
  • .25 cup of sugar
  • 3 tbs of milk
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 2 tsp salt
and knead it all up for 7ish min. Then let it rise in a warm area for an hour, or doubled in size, with a damp cloth on top of the bowl.

Once it has risen, punch down dough and knead in 2 tsp of minced garlic, if you want a little flavour to the dough.

Knead for another couple min, then pinch off golfball sized rounds of dough and put them on a tray to have a second rising. (sounds like something from a movie)

Preheat a grill while the second rising has started with a little oil. Now we want it hot, but DO NOT BURN IT.

Now once it has risen again, you want to roll balls of dough out thinly and place on the hot grill.

Now let cook for 2-3 min and then flip, paint some butter on the cooked side and flip after another couple min. paint some butter on that side and then take off and let cool before you eat.

Now i kept a lot of dough so i could make them fresh whenever i wanted some food, but you can make them all at once and keep them for later, with a little refry before you want to eat them. Just store in a plastic bag.

I ate my naam with some left over curry from last night. and a little bit of bacon to make even tastier.

Enjoy!
