Naan
Ingredients
- 4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- salt to taste
- 1 egg, beaten
- 6 tablespoon plain yogurt
- 3 tablespoon butter or ghee, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 1 Tblsp poppy seeds
Instructions
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a bowl. Stir in egg, yogurt and 2 tablespoons of the butter. Gradually stir in enough milk to make a soft dough. Cover with a damp cloth and place in a warm place for 2 hours. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 C) (Note: I use even higher temp 500F and place a pizza stone in my oven) Knead dough on a floured surface for 2 or 3 minutes until smooth. Divide into 8 pieces Roll each piece into a ball then into ovals about 6 inches long. If you must use a baking sheet, grease it and brush the underside of the bread with water. Brush the other side with butter and sprinkle with poppy seeds Bake 6 to 10 minutes until puffy and golden brown. (This is where the stone makes a difference)
