Naan

We've found naan to be a great way to satisfy our craving for bread in the hot summertime when we don't want to turn on the oven. It's a perfect match with curry! When we have leftovers, we make them into mini flat bread pizzas by adding sauce, veggies, and cheese.

Ingredients:
1 package instate dry yeast
1 C warm water
1/4 C sugar
3 T milk
1 egg (beaten)
2 tsp salt
2 tsp minced garlic (optional)
4 1/2 C flour
1/4 C butter (melted)

Directions:
1. Disolve yeast into warm water. Mix until frothy.
2. Let sit for 5 minutes.
3. Sitr in sugar, milk, egg, salt, garlic, and flour (1/2 C at a time).
4. Knead dough.
5. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
6. Pinch off sections of dough and form into golf ball size balls.
7. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes.
8. With rolling pin, roll dough ball into thin circle.
9. Place on heated pan or grill.
10. While cooking, brush uncooked side of dough with butter.
11. When golden brown (2-3 minutes), flip to cook other side.
12. Brush cooked side with butter.
13. Continue this process until all dough is cooked.
14. Eat while warm.
15. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat.

Makes 12-15 pieces.

  1. I finally tried your naan recipe tonight and it was DELICIOUS. I think I kept mine a little thicker than yours, but it was fluffy and soft inside. Made 12 generous sized pieces. I have a feeling we will be eating naan for the next week! Thanks!
