Naan
- 1 1/2 cups flour, unbleached all-purpose
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 4 each eggs
- 1 cup cream heavy
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 x ghee (clarified butter)
- Mix flours, eggs, cream, salt, baking powder, and soda to make a soft dough (like pizza), and knead 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add 2 ounces of oil or melted butter and knead again for 5 to 8 minutes.
- Form into a ball, cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until double in size.
- When the dough is ready, a finger pressed in the dough will make an impression.
- This will take from 1 to 2 hours, depending on temperature and humidity.
- Divide the dough into 8 to 10 balls.
- Dipping your fingers into the bowl of oil or butter, lightly pat each ball to coat with fat.
- Cover again with a damp cloth and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450F (230C).
- Wet your palms with oil or butter and pat each ball into a flat circle, making the circle thinner in the center and a tiny bit thicker at the edge.
- Pull one side to make the circle into a teardrop shape.
- Each nan should be about the size of your hand.
- Place the naan on a cookie sheet and brush the tops with oil or butter.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes until the nan become puffy.
- To make them a perfect golden color, place the baked nan under a broiler for a minute or two.
- Serve at once.
