I found this recipe on allrecipes.com. The ratings were great so I wanted to save it. We have not yet attempted this as we found some great Naan at a local Indian market but we do plan to give it a whirl!
Ingredients:
- 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 4 1/2 cups bread flour
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic (optional)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Directions:
- 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.
- 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.
- During the second rising, preheat grill to high heat.
- 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.
[...] This recipe was inspired by two different dishes we have recently discovered, the Mostly-Vegetable Saffron Rice and the Red Lentil Curry. We made the Mostly-Vegetable Saffron Rice per our instructions on this site but changed up the Curry by adding coconut cream instead of coconut milk, some plain yogurt and shrimp. Really the seasoning for the Red Lentil Curry was the main driver for this. Very very good. I loved how the sweet off set the spicy flavors! One thing we thought is that it was just a little too sweet (just over the edge) so we will try 1/2 can coconut cream and 1/2 can of coconut milk next time. Super yummy served with Naan. [...]
