Naan
- 12 cup yogurt
- 12 cup milk
- 12 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 (1/4 ounce) packages quick-rising yeast
- 3 12 cups unbleached white flour
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 12 teaspoon poppy seeds or 12 teaspoon sesame seeds
- Warm the yogurt and stir in the milk until thoroughly mixed.
- Remove from the heat and cool.
- (This can be done in a microwave.)
- Place the yogurt mixture in a mixing bowl for a very heavy mixer, such as a KitchenAid.
- Otherwise do this by hand.
- Add the baking soda, sgar, 2 tablespoons of the butter, eggs, and yeast.
- Mix until the yeast dissolves.
- Stir in the flour and salt.
- Using the dough hook for your electric mixer, knead the dough for 15 to 20 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough on a plastic counter and cover with a large stainless-steel bowl.
- Let the dough rise to twice its size, about two hours.
- Dust your hands with flour.
- Knead the dough again for a few minutes and divide into 8 balls.
- Roll each ball into a 10-inch pancake.
- Pull each pancake gently to give it an oval shape.
- Cover with plastic wrap for 20 minutes.
- Do not stack the pancakes as they will stick together.
- I use plastic trays covered with plastic wrap.
- heat your oven to 450 along with clay tiles for baking bread or an upside-down baking sheet.
- mix the remaining two tablespoons of butter with poppy seeds.
- Place a bit of flour on a small plywood board and place a loaf on the board.
- Brush the top with some of the butter and seeds and then slide into the oven.
- Bake just until the bubbles that form on the dough turn a bit brown, about 4 minutes.
- Remove from the oven using the plywood board and brush the bottom of the loaf with a bit of water.
- Stack the loaves and cover with plastic wrap until serving time.
