Okay, here's the recipe for Naan bread
This is great bread, almost as good as the naan bread you get in the Indian restaurants...and its made by hand....no electric mixers.
Ingredients:
- 6 cups white all purpose flour
- 2 cups yoghurt
- 1-2 cups tepid water
- 1 tablespoon granulated yeast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
Method:
- Mix water and yeast in a jug until dissolved
- Get a big mixing bowl and put in flour, water/yeast liquid, yoghurt and oil
- Mix with clean hands to make a dough and add salt
- Mix until the dough becomes like a ball you can roll around in the bowl. If its too wet add some flour and if its too dry add a little water.
- Knead until its pliable
- Cover with clingfilm and let it rise to double while you have a few drinks or whatever for about an hour.
- Punch it down and cut it into about 10 pieces in the shape of a ball.
- Flour a work surface and one by one work the dough into ovalish disks about 1/4 inch thick.
- Put the broiler rack about 2 inches from the heat and cover with tin foil, securing it to the rack. Make breathing slits in the foil every so often.
- Fire up the broiler.
- Put a little olive oil on each side of the disks and broil 2 to 3 minutes each side until lightly golden. The breads might puff up and that's fine. They will relax as they cool.
- Freeze what you don't eat in a big Ziploc bag.
