Naan is easy to make and really great when fresh. Soft, puyffy and blistered. It’s such a simple bread. Naturally, we do not have a tandoori oven, but we do have a griddle.
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbs honey
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 sachet of active dry yeast
- 3.5 cups of all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup greek yogurt
- 2 stp salt
- 1.2 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
You mix it all together once the yeast is activated, (about 10 mintues). With the mixer on medium low speed, mix till the dough is sticky ball that pulls away from the sides. Shape it into a ball and cover, then into the proofer for about an hour looking for a doubling. Once thats done, you roll out a circle and and cut into about 8 pieces then roll each one out into an oval about a 1.4 inch thick. Drop that on the hot griddle while the next one is rolled out. When the dough begins to bubble, and the bottom starts to get golden brown, flip it and add the next one. After about a minute take th first one off and and the third one, then flip the second one and so on. As they come off coat them lightly with garlic paste, a pinch of salt and some chopped cilantro. Serve warm and enjoy!
