NAAN BREAD
8 servings
My friend Anne gave me this recipe for Indian Naan Bread. It is a flat yeast bread that is cooked in a griddle pan and served with curries to scoop up all the delicious sauces. She served it with a garlicky humus and it was very well received.

4 ½ cups flour
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 ¼ teaspoon instant dry yeast
1 cup warm water
3 tablespoon milk
1 egg, beaten
2 teaspoons minced garlic
¼ cup melted butter
1. Combine all the dry ingredients in the bowl of the mixer. Mix the water with the milk and egg and add to the dry ingredients. Mix with the paddle attachment until a soft dough forms.
2. Knead the dough with the dough hook attachment for about 8 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm spot and let it rise to double its size. It will take about 1 hour. Punch down the dough and knead in the minced garlic.
3. Pinch off small rounds of dough about the size of a golf ball and roll into balls. Place the balls on a sheet pan and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise to double the size.
4. Pre-heat the griddle pan and brush with oil. Roll each ball into a circle and cook on the griddle pan for 2 to 3 minutes. Brush the uncooked side with melted butter and flip the bread over. Continue to cook until browned for another 3 to 4 minutes. Brush with butter and serve warm.
