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.

   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.

Looks like I might have been beat to it, but I will provide a link to 4 other naan recipes and you can decide for yourself based off of about 400 user reviews.

Answer 2

Classic Indian Naan

2 c All-purpose flour

1/2 ts Salt

1 pn Onion powder

1/2 ts Sugar

3/4 pk Dry active yeast

3 tb Milk

1/3 c Plain yogurt

1/2 Beaten egg

2 ts Melted butter

Instructions:

Place the flour, salt, onion powder, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl and

mix well. Heat the milk until it is lukewarm. Reserve 1/2 tb of yogurt

and add the rest to the milk and blend thoroughly. Beat the egg and set to

one side. Melt the butter.

Add the milk and yogurt mixture, the egg, and butter to the flour, and

knead with your hands until a soft and springy dough is formed. Place the

dough in a large plastic bag. Loosely seal the bag so that the dough has

enough room for expansion.

Leave in a warm place for 30-60 minutes, until doubled in size. divide the

dough into 4 balls, cover them, and set aside for 10 to 15 minutes.

Switch on the oven, and put an ungreased baking sheet into it for about 10

minutes. Remove the shet from the oven and line it with waxed paper. take

one of the balls and stretch it gently to make a teardrop shape. Lay this

on the baking sheet and press it gently to stretch it until about 6-7

inches in length, maintaining the teardrop shape at all times. Make the

other 3 shapes similarly, and brush with the reserved yogurt. Bake on the

top shelf of a 450F oven for 10-12 minutes, or until puffed and browned.

Keep the naan warm in a clean dishcloth or foil package until ready to

serve.

this is a lot of work!!!

Naan Bread...

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

1 teaspoon white sugar

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast

1/4 cup warm milk

1/4 cup plain yogurt, room temperature

4 tablespoons melted butter

3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds

DIRECTIONS

Put warm water in a small bowl, add sugar and yeast and stir until dissolved. Set aside for 5-10 minutes or until it foams.

Blend in the warm milk, yogurt and melted margarine. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, baking powder and poppy seeds. Pour in the yeast/milk mixture all at once and work it into the flour, using your hands. Continue mixing, adding flour or water as needed, until the mixture leaves the sides of the bowl.

Knead for 6 to 8 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a damp cloth and let stand in a warm place to rise for about 4 hours or until doubled in volume.

Preheat oven to 550 degrees F (285 degrees C) or your oven's highest setting and set a rack in the lower third of the oven. Place a large pizza pan or iron griddle on the rack and preheat. Also preheat the broiler.

Punch the dough down and knead briefly. Divide into six pieces and shape them into balls. Place them on an oiled plate and cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap. Let balls rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Roll out and stretch each ball until it is about 10 inches long and 5 inches wide. Remove the pizza pan from the oven, brush with oil and place one of pieces of bread on it.

Bake at 550 degrees F (285 degrees C) for about 4 to 5 minutes until bread is puffed and has brown spots, then transfer to a wire rack, returning pizza pan to oven to keep hot. Place bread under broiler until 'charcoal' dots appear on the surface. Wrap finished bread in a towel while baking the remaining loaves. (If your pizza pan is big enough, try baking two loaves at the time.)

Naan Bread Recipe

1lb white flour

1oz dried yeast

1 tsp nigella seed (kalonji)

6 tbsp plain yogurt

2 tbsp ghee or melted butter

1 tsp salt

1 tsp sugar

3/4 cup warm water

oil or ghee to coat

1. Dissolve sugar in warm water.

2. Add yeast. Yeast should froth, if it doesn't, start over with fresh yeast.

3. In a seperate bowl, sift salt with flour and add nigella seeds.

4. Make a well in the centre and add yoghurt, ghee and yeast mixture.

5. Knead well until it forms a dough. Shape into a ball. If dough is sticky, add more flour until elastic.

6. Coat a seperate bowl with oil or ghee and roll dough into it until fully coated.

7. Shake off excess oil and cover with damp tea-towel or cloth.

8. After 2 or 3 hours, dough should have doubled in size. This happens best in a warm area (my granny used to put hers on the mantlepiece above her fire!)

9. Knead the dough and divide into around 6 equal portions. Flatten and mould into typical 'pear' shape naan.

10. Preheat oven to 450oF/230oC and bake for 10 mins. Brush with ghee or butter and serve.

Delicious! No curry is complete without an obligatory naan! Naan is traditionally baked in a stone oven where it is slapped onto the sides to cook. Obviously, traditional kitchens don't have these, so do the best you can at home! Stay tuned for more accompaniment recipes!
