Sheree's Garlic Naan (Indian flat bread)
- 1 1/2 tsp Active yeast
- 2 tbsp very warm water
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 1/2 cup ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp milk
- 2 tsp ghee or veggie oil
- in small ceramic or glass bowl... mix sugar, yeast, warm water and allow to sit for 15 minutes... should become foamy and smell like bread...(I thought it had a look and consistency of melted vanilla ice cream!!)
- while u r waiting put flour, salt, garlic powder, baking powder in a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly ..
- make a well or indent in the middle of the flour mixture.... and pour in yeast mixture... yogurt... milk...and the oil... .and mix well with hand or wooden spoon
- the GREEK YOGURT add such a great texture and taste to the bread.!!!
- !
- u may need to add more milk until dough forms a ball that seperates from the edge of the bowl..
- LIGHTLY.... oil the edges and bottom of the bowl ..( I took the dough out and used the same bowl...
- I put a very small amount of oil and oiled bottom and sides)
- put the dough back in dough and roll it around to coat dough with oil.
- cover the bowl with plastic wrap...
- I use a large rubber band around the edge of bowl to seal it.... out dough in a dark warm place...
- I just set it inside my microwave ...
- let dough rest for 30 minutes - 3 hours....
- dough should double... knead for about 5-10 minutes.
- dough should be smooth.
- seperate dough into 4 equal pieces ..
- I lightly flour your surface and rolling pin.... my GM just used an old glass bottle for a rolling pin.
- I have a wooden rolling pin.. rub whatever your using with flour....
- I press the dough by hand and then roll out each piece to the size of a salad plate.....
- I allow them to sit while I prepare grill.
- they can also be baked...
- **** GRIDDLE..... put a very small amount of oil on the griddle... then take a piece of paper towel to spread oil lightly.... heat should be Med/ high.. when griddle is hot begin cooking naan.... each piece will puff up and resemble the surface of the moon... flip over and cook just about 1-2 minutes on the second side.
- remove from the griddle and liberally apply melted butter..(I use a paint brush I bought at Walmart )
- **** BAKING..... on a cookie sheet put non stick spray on cookie sheet.... place in oven to get warm place bread in cookie sheet at 425???
- again surface should resemble the surface of the moon... u will need to just watch it.
- because everyone's stove is different... it should be golden.
- for those of u who must have a time 10-12 minutes.... liberally cover each naan with butter ...
- SERVE WARM....
