Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
6 tablespoons plain yogurt (room temperature)
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons ghee, melted

Preparation

Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together into a nice sized bowl.
Stir in the beaten egg, yogurt and 2 tablespoons of the butter/ghee.
Gradually stir in enough milk to make a soft dough.
Knead dough very well.
Lightly grease bowl and cover the dough with a damp cloth and place in a warm place for 2 hours.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Knead dough on a floured surface for 2 or 3 minutes until smooth.
Divide into 8 pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball, and then into ovals about 6 to 8 inches long.
Grease a baking sheet with oil and brush both the sides of the rolled out Naan with oil.
Sprinkle one side with poppy seeds if you wish to use them.
Place the Naan on a baking sheet.
Bake for 6 to 10 minutes until puffy and lightly golden brown.
The bread puffs slightly, and will lightly brown on the sides.
You can enjoy these Naan's plain or with your favorite Indian dish, such as a curry dish!
