Easy Naan Bread
TS loves Naan bread, the ones you buy in the supermarket are ok but never as nice as when you order them at the restaurant freshly made and still warm.
I have been making Naan bread for years, but this is my favourite recipe and the EASIEST!!!
No oven needed !
I'm still perfecting my sweet naan (Pashwari) I'm getting closer, but not close enough to share yet
TS loves when these have more darker areas on. He'll say I want the ones most burnt. They taste better :)
I don't just make these for curry dinners anymore. They make an appearance with chili and soup. They can even be used as a flatbread for pizza :)
What you'll need
Dried yeast ~ 2 teaspoon
Sugar ~ 1 teaspoon
Water ~ 1/2 cup luke warm
olive oil ~ 1/4 cup
plain yogurt ~ 1/3 cup
egg ~ 1
All purpose/plain flour ~ 2 1/2 cups -3 cups
Salt~ 1/2 teaspoon
Butter ~ melted
in a bowl add the yeast, sugar and water and mix well until mix is all dissolved
in another bowl add 1 cup of flour and add the salt and mix well
mixed
add the wet mixture to the flour and salt mix and mix with a spoon.
add the extra flour a little but at at a time until the mixture is no longer sticky
on a floured surface place the dough and knead.
You'll find you still have some flour left over (I've never used the full three cups)
place in a bowl and cover with a towel and leave for 45-60 minutes
take the dough out of the bowl and divide/cut into 8 pieces.
roll the pieces of dough into balls
roll the piece of dough out. your not looking to make the dough to thin or thick.
dont over stretch it
melt some butter and brush the rolled dough with the butter
warm a non stick pan, place the dough butter side down.
the dough will start to bubble.
turn the dough over and light brown colouring will appear.
I turn the bread over a couple of times.
the naan takes only a few minutes each side
Enjoy!
