Original Indian Naan Bread - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
3 cups flour
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh yeast
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 egg, lighly beaten
2 teaspoons salt, to taste
1 teaspoon nigella seeds, crushed (optional)
1 tablespoon oil
Preparation
-
Sieve the flour.
Add water, yogurt, egg yeast, nigella and salt to make a soft dough.
If dough sticks too much then use little bit of oil on hand and then punch into dough.
Top with oil.
Let rest covered 15-20 minutes.
Divide dough into 8-10 portion and form balls with little flour.
Let rest 20 minutes.
Now to make naan, set oven at broil.
Roll oval shape out of dough: flat your balls and toss to make them bigger.
Put 2 naans on the baking tray and place it into stove (make better naan on stove top) and flip it after about 2 min (you have to check!). On the other side they need now about 30-40 seconds (check!).
Repeat with the other naans.
Keep them covered with a towel and serve warm.
Note: If you like, after taking it out apply some butter on them. And they are ready to eat.
