My daughter Jessica was recently here. She was here for the birthing of our first grandchild from her sister, Joy. She flew in from Australia and surprised me. I mean really surprised me since she said she was not coming for another 2 months. She works in a cafe in Sydney where Naan bread is very popular. I had never heard of Naan bread. She was here for 3 weeks and has returned to Sydney to her husband, Istvan..lucky duck.
So, today I decided to try making the Naan bread. Seems to be very similar to making pita bread with a few extra ingredients. They turned out delicious.
- 1½ cups warm milk
- ½ tsp yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 3½-4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 4-5 tbsp melted butter
- ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- salt (optional)
Instructions
- add yeast and sugar to warm milk, let stand 3-5 minutes
- add salt and 3½ cups flour to milk mixture and mix in mixer with dough hook for 3-5 minutes or about 8-10 minutes if mixing by hand, Sprinkle additional flour as needed to keep dough from sticking to the sides. Do not exceed 4¼ cups.
- Let rise for 2 hours or do the quick oven rising method described above in step 3
- Punch dough down and divide into 12 equal pieces.
- Form pieces into balls and let rest for 30 minutes (cover with plastic wrap or clean dish towel)
- Put your stone(s) in oven and preheat oven to 500 degrees
- Roll out dough balls to desired thickness (about the size of a small tortilla)
- Cook rolled out dough on stone for 2-4 minutes
- Stack cooked Naan on top of each other and brush each side with butter
- (If you desire you can add ¼ tsp garlic powder and a couple shakes of salt to your melted butter)
Here is the link that I got the recipe from.
