Naan
- 1 standard package active yeast (.25 ounces or 2 1/4 t. bulk yeast)
- 1 c. warm water
- 1 beaten egg
- 1/4 c. sugar
- 3 T. milk
- 2 t. salt
- 4 1/2 c. flour (approximately)
- 4 t. minced garlic (optional - adds great flavor)
- 1/4 c. butter, melted
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand 10 minutes.
- Stir in egg, sugar, milk, salt and flour to form soft dough. Knead on a floured surface or with the dough hook on a Kitchenaid Mixer (my preference) until smooth, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
- Place dough in an oiled bowl and cover with a cloth. Set aside to rise until doubled in volume, approximately 1 hour.
- Punch dough down. Knead in garlic.
- Pinch off small balls about the size of ping-pong balls. Roll into ball-shapes and place on a tray. Cover with a towel and let double in size, approximately 30 minutes.
- Heat grill (approximately 375 degrees; I cooked these on our woodstove). Roll balls of dough into a thin circle and place on lightly oiled grill. Cook for approximately 2 minutes and turn over.
- Brush cooked side with butter and keep grilling until both sides are brown.
