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.
