Answer 3

No Yeast Naan

Indian Flat Bread

4 cups All purpose flour  

1 teaspoon Baking powder  

1/4th teaspoon Baking soda

1  teaspoon of Salt

1 Egg, beaten  

6 Tablespoons plain Yogurt (room temperture)  

3 Tablespoons Butter or ghee, melted  

About 1 Cup of luke warm milk  

1 Tablespoon poppy seeds  

Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a bowl.

Stir in the beaten egg, yogurt and 2 tablespoons of the butter or ghee. Gradually stir in enough milk to make a soft dough.  Knead well. Cover with a damp cloth and place in a warm place for 2 hours.  

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Knead dough on a floured surface for 2 or 3 minutes until smooth. Divide into 8 pieces.

Roll each piece into a ball then into ovals about 6 to 8 inches long. Grease a baking sheet with oil.  Brush both the sides of the rolled out Naan with oil.  Sprinkle one side with poppy seeds. Place it ( poppy seed side up) on the baking sheet.

Bake for 6 to 10 minutes until puffy and lightly golden brown. The bread puffs slightly, lightly browns on the sides.
