Naan Recipe

Ingredients

3 cup flour
11 tablespoon milk
1 egg; beaten
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking potatoes
1/2 pkg yeast
2 tablespoon oil
4 tablespoon plain yogurt
1/4 teaspoon black onion seeds(kalonji)

Directions: How to Cook Naan

Sift the flour into a bowl. Place milk in a small pot and warm slightly. Remove from heat. In another bowl combine the egg, salt, sugar, baking powder, yeast, 2 tablespoons oil, yogurt, and 5 tablespoons of warm milk. Mix well. Pour mixture over flour and rub it in with the hands. Add 1 tablesppon of warm milk at a time to the flour, and begin kneading. Add up to 6 tablespoons or enough so that all the flour adheres and kneads easly. Knead well for about 10 minutes or until dough is elastic. Form into a ball, brush with oil, cover with damp cloth, and leave in a warm place to rise. If the temperature is above 80 degrees it should take only 2 hours. Otherwise it may take about 3 hours. Preheat broiler to about 550 degrees. Knead the dough again for a minute or two and divide into 6 balls. Flatten the balls one at a time, keeping the rest covered, and stretch then and pat them with your hands until you have a teardrop shape about 11 inches long and 4 inches wide. Do all balls this way, placing 2 naans on each baking sheet as you do so. Cover with moistened cloths and leave for 15 minutes in a warm place. Remove moistened cloths. Brush the center portion of each naan with water leaving 1/2-inch margin. Sprinkle the center portion with the onion seeds. Place sheets under the broiler, about 2 1/2 - 3 inches away from the heat and broil quickly for about 2 1/2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.

This is an excellent recipe. Best I've had outside of an Indian restaurant!

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 egg, beaten
2 teaspoons salt
4 1/2 cups bread flour
2 teaspoons minced garlic (optional)
1/4 cup butter, melted

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until frothy. Stir in sugar, milk, egg, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, or until smooth. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise. Let it rise 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume.
Punch down dough, and knead in garlic. Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of a golf ball. Roll into balls, and place on a tray. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
During the second rising, preheat grill to high heat.
At grill side, roll one ball of dough out into a thin circle. Lightly oil grill. Place dough on grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned. Brush uncooked side with butter, and turn over. Brush cooked side with butter, and cook until browned, another 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from grill, and continue the process until all the naan has been prepared.

Enjoy!

This is the best naan I've ever made: it's at allrecipes.com, and my family eats it so fast that it's a waste of time to only make one batch!!!!
