Garlic Naan-Bread
Submitted by Emil on Sat, 06/18/2011 - 18:18
I found this recipe awhile back at www.indiaforvisitors.com/food/bread/garlicnaan.htm
However, this site is now gone, so I thought I'd put the recipe up here for others to use.
I make the dough, split it into about 14 pieces and then roll it thin, cooking it on a flat electric-griddle on very-high heat. After cooking I cut it into finger-sized pieces.
Ingredients
| Amount | Ingredients |
| .25 oz | Active Dry Yeast |
| 4 tbsp | White Sugar |
| 1 cup | Warm Water |
| 1 | Beaten Egg |
| 3 tbsp | Milk |
| 2 tsp | Salt |
| 4 1/2 cup | Bread Flour |
| 2 tsp | Minced Garlic |
| 1/4 cup | Melted Butter |
Preparation
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Proof until frothy. Stir in sugar, milk, egg, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, or until smooth. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise. Let it rise until the dough has doubled in volume.
- Punch down dough, and knead in garlic. Pinch off small amounts of dough to make 12 to 14 pieces. Roll into balls, and allow to rise again.
While the dough is rising, preheat grill to high. - At grill side, roll one ball of dough out into a thin circle. Lightly oil grill. Place dough on grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned. Brush uncooked side with butter, and turn over. Brush cooked side with butter, and cook until done, another 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from grill, and continue
- cooking until all the naan has been prepared.
- You can lightly sprinkle some more garlic on top for garnish
