How to make Naan, or something like it
This is my favorite naan recipe. I suppose it's not a true naan, but nonetheless a delicious & chewy yeast-based yogurt flatbread. (For garlic naan, I melt some butter with chopped garlic and brush it over the dough before baking.)
- In small bowl, add sugar and packet of yeast to the warm water and stir. Let hang out for 10 minutes until foamy and dissolved.
- Combine yogurt, egg, salt and flour in larger bowl.
- Mix yeast water in with flour stuff.
- Work with hands to combine, and knead for five minutes or so until dough is smooth (adjust more flour or water as necessary).
- Place dough in oiled bowl and put wet cloth over it. Let rise in a warm place for an hour or more, until it has doubled in size, ideally.
To bake:
- Pop off circles of dough about the size of your fist, and stretch them out until they are thin and oval shaped.
- Bake on baking sheet in a 400 degree oven for about 12-15 minutes until brown.
