Ingredients:
7g dried active baking yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons dried
active baking yeast225ml warm water
250g flour
1 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons caster sugar
140ml water
3 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons ghee
1 egg, beaten
2 tsp salt
800g flour
2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
50g butter, melted
Directions:
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, 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 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume.
Punch down dough, and knead in garlic. Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of a golf ball. Roll into balls, and place on a tray. Cover with a cloth, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
During the second rising, preheat tandoor /oven/ barbecue to high heat. Cook in tandoor according to the directions.
For BBQ: At barbecue side, roll one ball of dough out into a thin circle. Lightly oil barbecue cooking grate. Place dough on barbecue, 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 browned, another 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from barbecue, and continue the process until all the naans have been prepared.
For ovens: Preheat oven to 240 C. Place 20x30cm baking tin on bottom of oven. Now, shape the naan. On a lightly floured work surface, cut dough in half & cut into 4 equal pieces. With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll each piece into a 6mm thick circle. Cover with a clean kitchen cloth & let rest 20 minutes. Lightly sprinkle tops with flour & roll out as thinly as possible.
Place 1 to 2 naans face down on preheated baking tin. Bake 60 seconds. Remove from oven. Place on large plate & cover with a clean kitchen cloth. Continue baking remaining naans. Eat warm, dipped in or drizzled with ghee.
