Naan

The What

  • 1 ½  cup flour
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • ½ tbs sugar
  • 1 tbs dry yeast
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 2 tbs yogurt
  • ¼ cup melted butter

The How

  1. Put 1 cup of flour in food processor, make an indentation with a  spoon in the flour.
  2. Pour water, sugar and yeast into indentation and let the yeast work for 5-10 minutes until it has foamed and you can see lots of bubbles.
  3. Add egg, oil and yogurt and process.
  4. Feed flour into the food processor a tbs at a time until a ball is formed. The ball will be sticky. Add more flour to the ball  and plot into a bowl.
  5. Cover bowl with wrap and place in a warn draft free place for 1 to 1.5 hours until it has doubled in size. I use the proof setting of my oven. If your oven does not have a proof setting turn on so it’s starst to pre-heat and turn it off after a minute. It should be just warmish.
  6. Remove dough from bowl onto a floured surface. Add a bit more flour so you can handle it.
  7. Divide the dough in two and flatten each piece.
  8. Brush melted butter on a flat non-stick pan, set burner to medium high.
  9. Place one piece of douigh on pan and let cook for 2-3 minutes until in has risen then flip to the other sire. Brush the done side with butter and cook for another minute or so. Naan should be nice and golden of both sides.
  10. Set aside and repeat steps 8 and 9 with next piece of dough.
