Garlic Naan




I don't know about you but I love Indian naan. I crave it. It's buttered heaven and surprisingly easy to make.



Ingredients: (Makes about 14)

recipe adapted from allrecipes.com
  • 1.5 teaspoons dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic 
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Directions:

  • 1. 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

  • 2. 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.

  • 3. During the second rising, preheat grill to high heat. (I used my grill pan and it worked perfectly!

  • 4. 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.
