Naan bread
An Indian bread traditionally prepared and slapped onto the walls of a tandoor to cook but, nowadays, can be just as successfully cooked in a conventional oven with a little help from the grill.
What you need
- 450 g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp easy blend dried yeast
- 2 tsp caster sugar
- 150 ml hand hot milk
- 6 tsp oil
- 150 ml natural yogurt
- 1 egg, beaten
Method
Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl. Scatter in the yeast.
Stir the sugar into the milk. Stir into the flour mixture with the oil, yogurt and egg. Bind to a soft but not sticky dough.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead well for 5-10 min or until smooth. Place in a large, lightly greased bowl. Cover with cling film. Leave in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 230°C.
Re-knead the dough. Divide into portions. Keep the other portions covered while preparing the first naan bread.
Roll out each portion into a tear-shape about 13 cm/5in wide and 23cm/9in long. Place on a lightly greased baking tray.
Cook in the oven for 3-5 min or until puffed up.
Transfer the naan to a medium preheated grill. Grill for 1 min or until naan develops the traditional brown spots. Wrap in a clean tea towel until all are cooked. Serve while warm.
