Has anyone got any TRIED recipes for naan bread?!
Answers: I'm looking for a recipe for naan bread that someone has tried. I have found plenty on the internet, but they don't make a nice naan as they are much too....bready, i guess.
ok I'm typing out the recipe right now for you, it's my fave, i use it all the time:
1 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tbs active dry yeast
4 cups all purpose flour, plus flour for coating dough balls
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbs vegetable oil
2/3 cup plain yogurt
1 large egg, beaten lightly
butter or ghee
Scald the milk, then let it come to room temp. Add the sugar and the yeast, stirring well to dissolve them. Let stand in a warm place until mixture is slightly frothy (abt 15 min).
Place flour in large mixing bowl and add the salt, baking powder, oil, yogurt, and egg. Work them into the flour with your fingers. Gradually add the milk mixture and knead until you have a soft smooth dough (5-7 min). Transfer to a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size (abt 1 hour).
Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal-sized balls. Warm a griddle over medium heat. Roll one ball lightly in flour and with a rolling pin shape it into a circle 7-8 inches in diameter, dusting with flour whenever necessary to prevent sticking. Place the naan on the griddle and cook until the surface bubbles lightly and the underside is lightly browned in spots (about 3 minutes). Flip it over and cook for another 3 minutes. Transfer to a dish and butter lightly. Cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Make the remaining naan the same way. Serve warm.

I made this on Christmas eve - it's the best naan bread that I've ever had at home. It's amazingly fluffy, chewy and totally delicious.
Naan bread - makes four large naans
Ingredients:
250g (2 cups) of all purpose flour
6g (1 sachet) of dried yeast
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
57g (4 tbsp) melted butter
25g (1.5-2 tbsp) plain yoghurt
150ml (2/3 cup) warm water
1 tbsp sesame seeds or other topping of your choice (I used chopped cilantro).
Method:
1. Mix the water, sugar, salt and yeast together in a jug.
2. Then add 1/2 of the melted butter and the yoghurt to the jug.
3. Place the flour in a bowl of a stand mixer. Drizzle the yeast mix and blend until it comes together. Then knead with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes.
4. Allow to rise in a fridge overnight OR 1-2 hours in a warm place.
5. Punch the dough down and divide into 4 equal pieces. Flatten each one with your hands into a naan shaped bread, brush with butter and top with your choice of topping.
6. Heat and brush a frying pan with butter and wipe with a kitchen paper. Place the naan in the pan and wait for it to evenly puff up (about 3-4 minutes).
7. Dab 5-6 spots of the naan with the melted butter, then turn. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes or until the butter spots have browned.
8. Transfer to a kitchen towel and keep warm. Serve hot, brushed with more melted butter.
