Indian Naan Bread
- 2/3 cup warm milk/water
- 1 tsp. active dry yeast
- 1 tsp. white sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. salt
- 4 tbsp. ghee (clarified butter)
- 2 tbsp. yogurt
- 2 tsp. kalonji (also known as black onion seeds
- nigella
- black cumin seeds - those are optional, I made naan without them)
- Whisk the warm milk/water with the yeast and sugar until the yeast is dissolved.
- Cover and let stand in a warm place for 10 minutes.
- Sift flour and salt three times into a large bowl add the yeast mixture, half of the ghee and the yogurt.
- Mix into a soft dough then knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a large greased bowl, cover and let stand in a warm place for 1-1/2 hours or until the dough is doubled in size.
- Punch down dough then knead for 5 minutes.
- Divide dough into 6 pieces.
- Roll each piece out into 8 inch round naans.
- Cover an oven tray with foil and grease the foil.
- Brush the bread with a little of the remaining ghee and sprinkle with some of the kalonji.
- Cook naan one at a time under a very hot grill for about 2 minutes on each side or until puffed and just browned.
