Naan (makes 5)





250g plain flour


2 tsp sugar


1/2 tsp salt


1/2 tsp baking powder


110-130ml milk


2 tbsp vegetable oil


nigella seeds, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, chopped garlic and fresh coriander or a mixture of pumpkin and sunflower seeds


1 tbsp butter, melted, for brushing





Sift together the flour, sugar, salt and baking poweder. Mix toghether the milk and oil. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the liquids.





Slowly mix together the dough by woring outwards from the centre and incorporating the flour from the edges of the well to make a smooth, soft dough. Knewd well for 8-10 minutes, adding a little flour if the dough is too sticky.





Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp tea-towel and leave for at least 1 hour in a warm place to double in size. When risen, punch out and form into five balls.





Preheat the grill to its highest setting and put a heavy baking sheet on the upper shelf.





Meanwhile, start to roll out the dough into teardrop or oval shapes, then gently prick all over with a fork. Sprinkle over the seed topping and press into the dough. Place the naans on the hot baking sheet and grill for 1-2 minutes or until there are brown spots on the surface. Brush with butter and serve hot.
Secret is a little buttermilk known as Ghee, eggs, single cream and onion seed (the little black things you see in naan bread). Do not use yeast or anythin like that and the dough needs to rest too. I do know we sell hundreds of them lol Not everyone has clay oven bu they can be heated on a flat pan to cook the bottom then put into a hot grill and watch it rise
You won't be able to get it like the from the take aways their secret is it's cooked in the clay oven or stuck to the side of it anyway i know what you mean but i love garlic nan's the ones you buy fresh in asda ain't too bad compared to the long life ones on the shelve
Naan Bread





WARNING: THIS ISA VERY DELICIOUS RECIPE


chewy %26amp; crispy








ingredients:


2 1/2 cups warm water


2 teaspoons active dry yeast


6 cups all-purpose flour


1 tablespoon salt





directions:


In a large bowl, dissolve the water and yeast (make sure water isn't too hot (it'll kill the yeast) or too cold (it won't activate it)).


Add 3 cups of the flour, a cup at a time.


Stir, using a wooden spoon, in one direction for 1 minute.


Sprinkle mixture with salt.


Add remaining flour, a cup at a time, stirring after each addition.


Stop adding flour after the dough is stiff (you might not want to use it all).


Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.


Knead the dough until it is smooth and easy to handle (10 minutes of vigorous kneading).


Shape the dough into a ball and put in a well-oiled bowl.


Cover with a moist towel and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk (about 1 1/2 hours).


Place baking stone in center of oven.


Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.


Deflate dough and divide into 4 equal pieces.


Flatten each piece into an 8 x 6-inch oval.


Let rest for 10 minutes.


Wet fingers with water and';dimple'; the bread by pressing your fingertips into the dough and stretching the dough.


You want it to be really thin.


Holes are OK.


Transfer bread to baking stone.


Bake until bread is golden on top and brown and crusty on the bottom.


(5 minutes or so).


Repeat with remaining dough.


Naan is best eaten the same day its made.
