Garlic Naan

I took what I thought looked good from several naan recipes online. My bread didn't have air bubbles in it like the restaurant kind but it was still pretty good. Maybe if I had used all white flour and had the traditional clay oven...


There are several recipes online and I combined them. This makes about 5-6 naans.

Ingredients:
2 cups whole wheat flour (or white if you want..I used whole wheat bc it's more filling and healthier)
1 cup all purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons yogurt (optional, I just needed to finish it)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried yeast

1. Mix the yeast with some warm water and let it sit for 10 minutes.
2. Mix all the egg, milk, sugar, salt, yeast, and yogurt until the sugar and salt is dissolved. Slowly add flour into the mixture. You might need a little more or less flour to create a good (not too sticky) consistency. I forgot to use 1/2 teaspoon baking powder -- you might want to add it.
3. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes.
4. Let the dough rise for an hour or two. I usually just forget about it.
5. If you have a grill you can use that. If not, it's easiest to cook the naans in a pan on the stove. Knead the dough a little to deflate it and pinch off a piece. Roll the piece into a ball. Flatten it with a rolling pin...can be whatever shape you want as long as it fits into the pan. Press on some minced garlic or whatever topping you want.
6. Cook on high heat in the pan or on the grill and flip after each side gets browned.

Dab some butter on the finished bread and you're all set. It's pretty easy if you have the patience to let the bread rise!
